Amazing how the "2nd protects the 1st" crowd are suddenly so silent. There only a few thousand ICE agents in Minneapolis. The metropolitan area has a few million people in it, and statewide statistics indicate that there is at least 1 gun in a little less than half the households statewide. That's over a million guns in Minneapolis-Saint Paul alone. If the people wanted to, the city could be de-iced very quickly. Expanding that nationwide, if the "2nd protects the 1st" crowd put their money where their mouth is, we wouldn't even be having this problem.

They aren't silent. They're using the bathroom at a Target.
