Authorities in at least three states have arrested individuals allegedly impersonating Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers at a time when real ICE agents have ramped up immigration enforcement efforts under the Trump administration, adding to existing fears of law enforcement among migrant communities.

    I’m engaging, violently, with a gun, any masked man that molests me or my family. My wife is a legal, brown immigrant. I am a gun nut. I am practiced and I train.

    This isn’t bravado, it’s the reality I live. I leave the front curtains open so I can see incoming threats. I close those curtains at night so they can’t see me. I’m scared shitless.

    Some of ya’ll “guns BAD” liberals need to take a history class. I’ll die with my boots on thank you very much.

      I’ve been anti-gun my whole life and still am. But the reality of the current situation is I’m getting a gun.

      America isn’t a civilized enough nation to move past firearms like other nations have done.
