He must have been familiar to the ICE people too and they must have known that he carried a piece thus they were aware of his lethal potential. There is at yet no footage of this bloke handling let alone brandishing his weapon but it baffles me as to why he went to a demo, allegedly to see fair play, with a pistol on his person.

It's quite obvious he was neither peaceful, nor protestor but rather an armed and violent agitator intent on stirring up some shit.
ICE agents may the method of this clowns demise but thery're certainly not the cause, this malleable idiot is dead because he's spent the last decade allowing himself to be brainwashed by left wing media propaganda.It's America. They take their gun in the shower.

Cheers for the update. Good to hear how all these developing countries around the world are doing.
Anyone got the the shipping forecast?
I do, there’s a US Armada off the coast of Iran about to free the poor oppressed Persian people of 50 years
of agony.
Don’t worry though Starmer will soon announce Sharia law in the UK and you can all find out first hand what all the fuss is about.

And but MAGA did it isn't an answer.
As for guns, they are nothing more than inanimate objects incapable of causing harm without input from an operator, I could list many everyday objects that also fit that description.
If someone means to do harm they'll find away whether guns are available or not.
Banning them doesn't get rid of them as they quite ubiquitous even where banned, and fairly simple to improvise.
You say you "think all guns should be banned" but you that's probably not true because I doubt you've ever actually thought about it you've just been conditioned to accept it as fact.
contradiction then isnt it, didn't matter if he took a gun or a spoon, fairly simply to improvise

You clown, that's exactly what whataboutery is.
The point I've made which your so keen to dance around but not touch is why he felt the need to take a specialised firearm to a "peaceful" protest. I never said a laser sight was " too much" I said it changes the nature of why the weapon is carried.
As for firearms in public I really couldn't care less, go fucking nuts, legalise stinger missles. I don't care.

What whataboutery is about is that it's about what something else is about.

The point you're contorting yourself to dodge is why take one to a (peaceful) protest?Geezer was half expecting a shoot-out when in the close vicinity of ICE agents. Thick as mince prat fucked about and found out, as they say.I think Bill Hick's may have spoken the defining words on matters such as this when he very eloquently said; "He's an idiot. He's dead. Good! We lost a moron? Fucking celebrate. There's one less moron in the World".
