If this is how the police respond the the mere presence of a firearm, the second amendment is dead.

I feel like it is just a matter of time before some 2A vs police violence shifts the narrative.

Pro cop bootlickers have been killed by police violence. Nothing has come of it

One can only hope..

I hope it doesn’t take violence. Jan 4th showed a lot of restraint IMO. My hope is for the police to alienate themselves politically so some real reform can happen.

Just look at Uvalde. In my mind, that's the worst. Letting children die. And how did that community respond? By keeping the same people in power who led to it. The masses literally aren't smart enough to want change. They're scared of it.

January 4th had restraint demonstrated because they were outnumbered.

The police are abusive spouses, they only have anger issues and violent urges around their S/O who they know they’ve beat into submission. At work, the bar, the mall, if someone crosses them, they’ll be happy to try and talk things out first.

Reminds me of a joke. A murder, a wife beater and an alcoholic walk into a bar. The bartender says "Good evening officer."

Restraint on who’s side?

u/NuancedFlow Dec 04 '22

Both sides. Watching it unfold live I was afraid it was going to turn into a bloodbath.

Been like that for awhile now. There was a big lawsuit where an officer in Minneapolis held a female driver at gunpoint just because he noticed her gun permit in her wallet and automatically assumed she was a threat to his "safety." I don't think she even actually had a firearm in her possession at the time either.

The police argued that simply having a legal firearm permit automatically makes you threat to their safety and they should be allowed to use immediate deadly force against you.

https://kstp.com/kstp-news/top-news/driver-held-at-gunpoint-for-having-permit-to-carry-settles-with-minneapolis-park-board-100k/.

It was potentially an interesting 2A case. If police can kill you for just lawfully having a gun permit, do you really have a 2A right if police threaten your safety for just exercising your constitutional right?

Police in Texas were getting twitchy too about the change in gun laws.

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/26/us/texas-guns-permitless.html.

But in a country with 2A cops need to understand that people have a right to carry, and that you just can't give into paranoia and murder everyone because you mistakenly "feared for your life." Cops wanna go home to their families? Well, so does everyone else. You are not more important than other citizens.

And if the police are too paranoid to responsibly handle a firearm maybe they shouldn't have guns outside of SWAT or special units. A cop recklessly handling a firearm is a danger to other officers and the public.

Pretty sure your 'countdown' depends entirely on skin colour here.

u/orbcat Dec 04 '22

and there is no reason. people rarely shoot back or would rarely try even if they could before they are executed for using their constitutional rights. the police are government funded terrorists and need to be stopped

The 2A crowd despises people who want police accountability, and will rush to lick the boots of police officers who routinely kill lawful gun owners.

The NRA will not say a word about this - just like they do every time a lawful gun owner gets shot.

u/[deleted] Dec 04 '22

No we don't. Also the NRA hasn't represented the 2a community in years. We call them Fudds. The NRA is a money making org that panders to Republican politicians. This was a bad shoot.

1

u/remmij Contributor⚡️ Dec 04 '22

Ya'll could have fooled me with how the people who represented the 2A crowd attacked BLM and looked the other way for decades while police were unjustifiably murdering people. They couldn't even take Kapernick taking a knee without having an absolute meltdown.

(I do get what you're saying though and know there are less grimey gun rights groups out there, but Republicans and the NRA have claimed the 2A movement as their own and are the face of the movement.)

u/[deleted] Dec 04 '22

I guess stop by one of the subs. See it for yourself. BLM was a corrupt charity. If you ask anybody in those subs if they support African Americans fighting against police injustice, the vast majority of them would say yes. Obviously some bad apples exist, but they're far outnumbered.

u/NEp8ntballer Dec 04 '22

You underestimate how many 2A people dislike law enforcement. Most ire is toward the ATF, but a lot of us dislike local cops as well due to incidents like this.

u/Sassycatfarts Dec 04 '22

2aliberals, liberalgunowners, and the SRA would beg to differ.

u/Ceceboy Dec 03 '22

If the second one is the right to bear arms, it is a shite amendment anyway, you clowns.

u/Negative-Mongoose781 Dec 04 '22

second amendment is not the same for all. sheesh.

u/HelloPeopleOfEarth Dec 04 '22

I'm sure the NRA will be all over this /s

I hope so. The NRA is always absent when "the good guy with a gun" is killed by the police. There are many examples of police shooting the "good guy with the gun" that they practice so much.

u/EquivalentBadger8 Dec 04 '22

I'm glad I saw your comment before I tried to say the same thing but less coherently. You're exactly right.

Preach.. couldn't have said it any better.
