Are we going to prohibit companies from operating five days a week

The number of days an individual employee is working doesn’t necessarily dictate the number of days the business can operate.

Slop image is straight outta Wolfenstein lmao

I do concede that WWII was not fought and won by armed civilians, I was largely responding to “without guns we can’t fight fascism” and can see that, in the greater context of the thread, that might be less relevant. I do think the French Resistance would have been better equipped if they hadn’t had to rely on smuggled or captured weapons. A full scale invasion is going to pan out differently when most civilians are able to shoot back or organize into militia.

Vietnam is a testament to the fact that multiple military superpowers can still lose to a lesser armed (but still armed) populace.

And then the american fucking revolution, that I can’t even imagine how to tie in

This is where you really have me stumped and should maybe do some reading into US history, fighting this war is the foundational experience that led to the creation of the second amendment. Here’s a good place to start:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battles_of_Lexington_and_Concord

US - 1765 to 1784

EU - 1939 to 1945

Vietnam - 1955 to 1975

Yes, I’m aware that only one of these cases was literal fascism.

You can see my other comment in this chain, but firearms are the “last stand” tools to fight oppression. We’re in the midst of a particularly sensitive stage and, in my opinion, haven’t crossed the “tipping point” where a violent response would be wise or justified.

I see that as a cop-out to engagement in discourse, an alt account and VPN/privacy technologies would be enough to shield someone from “taking the bait”

My own opinion is that we have not reached a point where that level of response is justifiable, and I think it’s incredibly dangerous and irresponsible to suggest that it is.

The administration’s current rhetoric revolves around the domestic terrorist threat / violent insurrectionist motif that, while some people may buying into, is not being substantiated with strong evidence.

At this time, violent response / uprising by those perceived to be “on the left” will add fuel to validate that propaganda machine, it will firmly entrench the beliefs of those who might otherwise have a chance of moving away from it, and it will likely trigger a heavy-handed response leading to a substantial and catastrophic loss of life and liberty.

Hypothetically, “with how subtle you are, you might as well” be an agitator seeking to be a catalyst to what I just described.

In terms of assigning responsibility, this is an easy one.

“You” refers to the firearm’s owner. Firearm ownership comes with a high degree of responsibility. It means knowing and following the four rules, at least two of which must be broken at the same time for someone to get hurt. It means maintaining a reasonable degree of control over that firearm at all times, whether it’s on your person or being stored.

If anyone is “finding” a firearm, reasonable precautions were not taken to secure that firearm.

These cases all boil down to gross negligence on the owner’s part. Legally and logically, the owner should be the one to suffer the consequences.

Unfortunately, in a lot of cases, the incident gets treated as a “tragedy” and legal consequences do not get applied.

You didn’t answer the question.

Am I to infer that you think that right now is an appropriate time to actively seek out and shoot ICE agents?

Man, I see this sort of thing commented all the time as some sort of “gotcha” and really have to wonder what it is you’re envisioning.

Put yourself in the shoes of a firearm owner for a moment. Evidently, you believe the US has passed a tipping point where violent resistance is necessary.

Where are you going with your gun and who are you shooting at?

Post is still up 2 days later, DHS’ “Gotta Catch’em All” video has been up since September.

Looking into DMCA or Lawsuits against the US government, I can only find information about the Tariff case.

More Americans voted for Trump than any other candidate.

Not sure if you mean in that particular race or ever.

In that particular race, there was a 0.9% margin.

Ever, Biden actually holds the lead with the most total votes.

At least, according to the stats listed here: https://www.britannica.com/topic/United-States-Presidential-Election-Results-1788863

“Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary”

Some random not-a-fucking-leftist gun nutter, apparently

They’ve amassed missiles armed with warheads.

The article you linked makes no mention of this. What is the basis for this claim?

There are plenty of other forms of phrasing to communicate that though.

Were any of those other incidents documented with the level of video footage that Good and Pretti’s were?

Trump wouldn’t recognize an insurrectionist if one stormed the White House while he was in it.

This is a single-day event. Consider it a test run, an opportunity for everyone to get their feet wet, to gain a glimpse of what they could potentially do without.

If this shit continuous, this precursor sets the stage for longer, broader strikes that will have a broader impact.

Lots of discussion around encryption states at boot / disabling FaceID

For iOS, Invoking the shutdown dialog (Lock+Volume) or activating Emergency Mode (Lock 5x Fast) puts the device into a “Lockdown” state where FaceID no longer works, PIN authentication is the only means to unlock the device.

I’ve seen photos with feminine appearing stature / eyes doing on the street enforcement, I would assume them to be in the extreme minority in that context.

There’s also back-end desk work where physical characteristics aren’t really going to matter.
