This is exactly why the 2nd amendment exists.

Those of you who have served in the military and swore an oath to protect us from domestic enemies, please seriously consider honoring your oath before the rest of us have to do it for you.

As others have said, if they take you to a second location, you could either die or end up in a gulag in another country, which is probably as good as being dead.

May as well fight to the death. Make them pay for it. If you don't you could end up wishing you had another opportunity to.

Exactly this. The fear of torture to death would make me fight back when they bust in. This reminds me to start carrying and leaving easy access to the shotgun at home

Ever snuck around the house because you knew your significant other or kid couldnt possibly be home at that time, but your significant other had changed their plans and come home unscheduled? I'd sure feel safer with a shotgun in my hands in that situation, I'll tell you what.

I want to be very clear here. If they take you, at A MINIMUM, they will beat you, torture you, SA you, and deny you civil rights and human rights. At worst, you die. You want all these slack jawed jackasses that won't raise holy hell about the government already doing this to immigrants, you're dead anyway. ''ICE kills US citizen'' is a much stronger headline than ''Trump says he will do this to citizens'' additionally when the ICE agents have to deal with the fact that ''just following orders'' includes a high chance of death, they might question the orders.

Honestly, not true? ICE is a bunch of fatass fascist sympathizers that get their rocks off abusing their authority. If they try to kidnap you, they are not going to expect you to be armed and dangerous. They are not going to be prepared for you to fight back.

You'll have to flee immediately after, because they'll send more agents when the first turn up dead, but it at least gives you a chance.

And some job satisfaction.
