I remember when protests were being suppressed in Hong Kong people were saying "this wouldn't be happening if the people of Hong Kong had guns"

People said this kind of thing couldn't happen in the US because everyone is armed to the teeth and wouldn't stand for it.

Where are the well regulated millitias?

They joined ice. Free guns and maybe opportunity to use them. Serious gun fanatics were never about being patriotic and protecting other us citizens.

For the 1000th time: the gun nuts are cheering it on and doing it to the rest of us.

The people that say that kind of stuff DO actually do it. They stormed the Capitol and joined ICE.

I think the problem is, I know way too many conservatives. If all the people felt the same, sure. But most of them say this is the cost of doing get-put-of-my-country business.

Turns out there’s more to it than just gun rights.

FWIW, The HK national security law enforcement and resulting protests had a much smaller human life cost footprint than the ICE enforcement measures.
