      When they raided Chicago ICE specifically stayed away from the really bad parts because they didn’t wanna get shot.

        Exactly. This is also why they have targeted schools, daycares, and other spaces they know they’re less likely to encounter strong resistance.

        Also exactly why they don’t go to red states with lax gun laws, among other reasons.

          I live in Tucson, where there are a ton of Mexicans, and I’ve been wondering why it hasn’t been as bad here. And yes, Arizona does have really lax gun laws.

            Time will tell, and they (admin and gestapo) will get desperate - please do what you can to prepare for the worst with the understanding that it could and likely will be much worse.

            I really wish I am overreacting and sounding unnecessary alarm, however fresh horror reaches us everyday and proves we’re not worried or prepared enough.

      This is the correct answer. They’re hitting blue cities where it’s mainly left leaning people who are anti-gun. Why hit a 2a strong hold if you’re probably going to meet force. They’ll kill for the paycheck, but they don’t want to die for it.

      Plus most people have no combat training. I can handle aggressive drivers no problem. If masked thugs rush me with drawn weapons, I will very effectively shit myself at best, run hard at worst
