Regarding ICE's murder of Alex Pretti — why are Second Amendment advocates silent?

Murdering lawfully gun-carrying citizens is . . .

 

. . . evidently, Trump administration policy.

 

 

Proof

 

Greg Bovino (head of America's ICE-Gestapo) said — after his agents murdered Alex Pretti in Minneapolis — that the mere presence of a firearm and two magazines on Pretti indicated that Pretti had intended to 'massacre law enforcement'.

 

According to Bovino, the attribution of this baselessly inferred intent (to Pretti) fully justified ICE's subsequently murdering behavior.

Kristi Noem (director of Homeland Security) came to the same 'government can kill at will' conclusion.

 

Implicitly — according to her — even legally carrying a firearm means that one intends to 'inflict maximum damage on individuals and to kill law enforcement'.

 

Noem's unavoidable implication therefore being that any lawful firearm-carrier — as Pretti was — should be executed on the spot.

With those Trump administration statements in mind

 

Notice that, despite ICE's continual demonstrations of Constitution-shredding tyranny, our nation's millions of Second Amendment-waving gun acolytes continue, almost uniformly, to sit silent.

 

This remains so, despite those same advocates' interminably expressed claims that the Second Amendment exists exactly so as to forestall — or actively counter — government's tyrannical tendencies.

 

 

The moral? — The longer the Second Amendment Clan sits silent . . .

 

. . .  about ICE's shredding of the Constitution, the more it loses societal credibility.

 

In glaring contrast, allegedly 'fat lesbians'  — a right-wing slur (which I have heard more than once) maliciously describing Renee Good and her partner — are on the streets courageously protesting in favor of moral decency.

 

Respect is due them. No matter one's political orientation. Bravery is a rare thing.

 

In comparison to Minneapolis's anti-ICE protestors' willingness to hazard their safety, so as to uphold moral principle — not much respect is due the United States' acquiescently silent, butt-sitting gun-idolators.

 

Passivity in the face of tyranny is for sheep and chickenshits.

 

Neither need, or deserve, Constitutionally accorded firearms for the anti-tyrannical purpose that they so love (apparently vacuously) prattling about.
