    | don’t want to deal with the consequences

    Americans will happily allow armed, masked men to violently kidnap people off the street in broad daylight and haven’t fired a single shot. I wouldn’t expect many of us to make the needed sacrifice.

      You can’t really be saying “haven’t fired a single shot” in response to a thread on multiple failed assassination attempts.

      Also about the only context I can think of where people are saying Americans don’t have enough gun violence.

        Context clues tell me they’re talking about ICE, not the assassination attempts. And if Americans are going to insist on sacrificing their children to school shooters in order to keep their precious guns, then yes they might as well put them to good use against ICE.
