The people of Minnesota, particularly Minneapolis believe they are at war with ICE. It only follows concealed carry permit applications have almost doubled.

Incredibly enlightening.  what a tard!

"The gun sales appear to be driven by fears arising from unrest in the streets, concerns about ICE raids, and anti-Second Amendment political rhetoric."

If I’m understanding this correctly you think CCW apps are up because THEY are war with ICE? That might be one of the top 5 most retarded takes I’ve EVER heard.

Gun registration and permits to carry in Minnesota have spiked, driven by a 76% increase in permit applications in early 2026, largely due to concerns over community unrest, self-defense, and fear of stricter gun laws. This surge, particularly among first-time buyers, is fueled by recent high-profile immigration enforcement actions (ICE), safety concerns, and the implementation of new state laws requiring stricter background checks.

What you said..

"The people of Minnesota, particularly Minneapolis believe they are at war with ICE".


The way you made it sound that it was to defend themselves AGAINST ICE.

Who are these people if they are not Minnesotans? If they are not defending themselves against the ICE operation metro surg, what are they defending themselves against?

So you think applications are up BECAUSE minnesotans want to defend themselves against ICE? lol

Are Minnesotans, especially those in Minneapolis thrilled to have ICE beating down their doors, brutally beating up their friends and associates in the streets who may be protesting against the invasion of their city as well as bystanders who happen to film them and, in a couple of cases, murdered their neighbors?

My niece and nephew live in Minneapolis. They also have the good fortune to own a home in Merida, Mexico. Where do you suppose they are currently, at home in Minneapolis or taking it easy at their place in Merida, Mexico? BTW, they are U.S. citizens who were born in the U.S. as were their parents, and great-grandparents etc. I have no idea if they own or recently bought a gun.

You didn't answer my question? Not only that you're waaaaaay off on your F'ed up analogy of how things are being handled and no one was "murdered" for Christ's sake. If you think there is actual tyranny do you think people are going to pull permits for it? Do you even understand why the Second Amendment was written? Good Lord you're dense

Just look at his idiotic answer to your question 🙄

No he sides with Fucking idiots who are Protesting & disrupting ICE from
Doing their job. FFS just how skewed & Fucked up are these Leftists Minds.

They really think the ILLEGALS give a Fuck about those who are protesting
They wouldn't give a damn about raping / Attacking them.
Look at the Stupid comment about Murdering Protesters !!!
Yeah like they were sat at home eating their dinner & were shot dead for no reason.

You are right, I did not answer your question directly. Instead, I pointed out the obvious possibility and asked you in essence, 'if not them, then who' is applying for permits in Minnesota? I pointed out that a lot of people, especially those who watched the videos see those unfortunate and unnecessary deaths at the hands of ICE as murder. I never expected you to be one of them and unless I am wrong about this, you aren't but you are those who think killing those two folks deserved what they got, which was death.

I don't have one of those, can you get me a copy?

'Then who"? - The ones that aren't the paid anarchists. The law abiding citizens who don't want to be attacked for supporting ICE which is more than not.

I studied the videos ad nauseam and came to the same conclusion as most. They asked for it. They're dead because they wouldn't comply with lawful commands. Natural selection if you will. You see some one get shot and stop there when there's whole other dynamic to it that I'm sure you wouldn't understand because you look through ideological eye's instead of common sense, critical thinking and understanding the situation.

Sure, let me wipe and I'll send it your way.

He's a very typical idiotic leftist   - He see the videos of theses idiots not complying & acting
Reckless & his warped mind twists into they were murdered for no reason.
Totally ignoring the Facts that they were deliberately interfering with ICE agents lawfully doing
There jobs.
Oh no he wants to white Knight for rabble rousers & abusers Fucking around with ICE & Police.

Any sense of clear Normal rationality has gone - the simple obvious facts like they could of
Prevented their own deaths by listening & complying , no mention of that.
Completely Fucked & Warped thinking.
