Never said there was or should be.
The point you're contorting yourself to dodge is why take one to a (peaceful) protest?Geezer was half expecting a shoot-out when in the close vicinity of ICE agents. Thick as mince prat fucked about and found out, as they say.
I think Bill Hick's may have spoken the defining words on matters such as this when he very eloquently said; "He's an idiot. He's dead. Good! We lost a moron? Fucking celebrate. There's one less moron in the World".

It's not whataboutary, should have preempted you saying something so idiotic, I haven't changed the point, talking about a different class of gun within the same frame of reference is not whataboutary, it's a valid point. Do you have a problem with guns of any class being allowed in public or what? I mentioned assault rifles as suddenly you feel a laser sight is too much, when people have been openly carrying AR-15s in MAGA protests for the last couple of yearsIt's not whataboutery when you start a question with "And what about... " in order to deflect rather than answer the point
You clown, that's exactly what whataboutery is.
What whataboutery is about is that it's about what something else is about.

Well if we ever get to the bottom of that one and find out what Ray Epps and the hundreds of FBI assest were really up to I'll let you know.
But you carry on with the endless whataboutery.

So much of the recent unrest In Minneapolis is a result of who is in the White House.
So politically motivated violence, like terrorism?

The point I've made which your so keen to dance around but not touch is why he felt the need to take a specialised firearm to a "peaceful" protest. I never said a laser sight was " too much" I said it changes the nature of why the weapon is carried.
As for firearms in public I really couldn't care less, go fucking nuts, legalise stinger missles. I don't care.

Maybe we're both agreeing here, I don't believe any guns of any sort should be carried by civilians at a protest

Attention should be drawn to Nurse's post at 15.09.
Under Obama, 51 civilians died at the hands of ICE agents. These same agents received nothing but applause from the left wing media/establishment.
Obama deported more than 8 million people during his two terms.
Obama pinned a madal on Tom Homan, the Trump appointed border czar. Homan is now seen as a menace to the public.

Re: The Official Politics Thread (enter at your own risk)
I agree with all of the above, however you need to use a little common sense with such a responsibility, don’t you agree?
Re: The Official Politics Thread (enter at your own risk)
Amusing that the NRA and hardline republicans have pushed back against trumps claim that guns have no place at a protest. you agree with open carry or even closed laws or not? Some of you can't seem to decide

Someone should tell the NRA that they are being undermined by Republicans
Man up you soft cock commies
Not aware of Obama sending untrained masked gunmen onto the streets to shoot people dead during the course of identifying and removing illegals

Re: The Official Politics Thread (enter at your own risk)
The Governor Tim Walz spoke with Trump about ICE and what’s happened and Trump told him that he will be happy to reduce ICE numbers if the police co-operate amd hand over the criminals instead of letting them back out on the street.
Trump is not going to allow the Sancguary city madness to continue.
As for Walz he’s probably trying to negotiate a pardon for his involvement in all the fraud that’s been going on where there are whistleblowers and evidence verifying he knew it was happening but allowed it because it funded the Dem party.
the Dems are rotten to the core.

Bottom line, if Saint Barak of Obama was driving these deportations of illegals, no one would care.

More slave trade nonsense
£1.1 mill for a vanity project? Constantly harping on about the slave trade never the work done to stop it.
If they want to build a memorial, do it for those who lost their lives stopping human trafficking, and shame the African chieftains who sold their own people.

That's entirely the point, they don't have papers because they're, duh, fucking illegals.
And the masks and balaclavas wouldn't be necessary if they and their families weren't at risk of being doxed by scumny commies.
