re: Will MAGA turn their back on the 2nd amendment?

Don’t care. Wasn’t asking.

Videos have been shown of these people saying they'll smoke ICE agents if they're attacked

You think threatening people with firearms vs. the right to have firearms is equally protected? Such a failure on your part.

Still don’t care

law breaking

In 1775, the American colonies were seen by Great Britain as breaking laws related to trade, governance, taxation, and military obedience, most notably under the Prohibitory Act and earlier Intolerable Acts.

1. Prohibitory Act (December 1775)

Trade Violations: Colonists had stopped all trade and commerce with Great Britain, effectively defying the Crown’s authority.
Engaging Armed Rebellion: They had raised armies, attacked British troops, and assaulted forts like the one at Ticonderoga.
Usurping Government Powers: Colonial assemblies and militias took control of local governance, bypassing royal authority.
Privateering: Colonists seized British ships, treated as enemies by Parliament, in direct defiance of maritime law.
The Prohibitory Act effectively declared economic warfare on the colonies, authorizing the seizure of ships and blocking trade


2. Intolerable Acts / Coercive Acts (1774–1775)

Although passed in 1774, the enforcement and Colonial reaction carried into 1775. Colonists were accused of breaking laws indirectly through rebellion and non-compliance with these acts:
Boston Port Act: Colonists continued trade despite the blockade of Boston Harbor.
Massachusetts Government Act: Colonial officials defied the suspension of town meetings and representative governance.
Administration of Justice Act: Colonists resisted trials of British officials outside Massachusetts.
Quartering Act: Colonial militias generally refused forced housing of British troops.
Quebec Act: Colonists claimed illegal expansion of Quebec territory into lands claimed by them.
Colonists reacted through boycotts, formation of militias, and direct attacks against British authority, constituting violations of both the letter and spirit of these laws.

3. Earlier Trade and Taxation Acts, leading up to 1775

Sugar Act (1764): Smuggling or avoiding duties on sugar and molasses imports.
Stamp Act (1765): Use of unstamped paper products or refusal to pay required taxes.
Townshend Acts (1767): Violation through boycotts or smuggling on lead, glass, paper, and tea.
Tea Act (1773): Led to the Boston Tea Party; destruction of taxed tea was illegal under Parliamentary law.

4. Local Military and Militia Actions (1775)

The City University of New York
Seizing Forts: Taking Fort Ticonderoga and stockpiles of British arms.
Engaging British Troops: Battles at Lexington and Concord, open firing on British forces.
Establishing Extralegal Governance: Colonial assemblies and the Continental Congress acted independently of royal authority.

5. Naval Misconduct and Discipline

United States Navy
While primarily applicable to colonial naval service regulations, colonists were subject to discipline for crimes such as: disorderly conduct, theft, mutiny, and refusal to follow shipboard orders, illustrating the broader legal framework they were operating under. Colonists who engaged in privateering or armed resistance independently were technically in violation of maritime law as defined by the Crown.

So what is the point of this failed thread?

The point of his thread was to paint MAGA as racists. This is why he used a Black Panther org instead of the neck bearded white dude from a couple days ago. That is also why he was misleading in his opening statements.

The irony of course is that MAGA is it the not the ones abandoning their platform regarding gun rights when they become inconvenient , the left is.

Not surprised you are too dense to recognize the precarious position are in here.

If they are exactly like the guy you referred to in the OP. Hell no. The dude is actively threatening ICE.

Sure I agree

My question to you, is why do you believe your buddy in the OP should be allowed to threaten law enforcement?

I don't

If there are a bunch of people (doesn't matter if they're black or not) open carrying at an ICE protest are you ok with that?

If they are following the local laws why shouldn't it be ok?
