Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D) just dropped a bombshell justification for anti-ICE protesters who stormed a church in his state, declaring that “None of us are immune from the voice of the public.” In a jaw-dropping display of selective outrage, Ellison is greenlighting mob tactics against a house of worship—where families were gathered—because they dared to shelter immigrants targeted by federal enforcement. This isn’t some fringe rally; it’s a direct invasion of private property under the flimsy banner of public voice, with protesters chanting and disrupting services. Ellison’s endorsement flips the script on every leftist sermon about safe spaces and no disruption zones, exposing the hypocrisy when it suits their agenda.
For the 2A community, this is a flashing red warning light. If Ellison can bless church-storming as legitimate public expression, what’s stopping the next mob from targeting gun shops, ranges, or your local Second Amendment rally? We’ve seen the pattern: Antifa riots excused as mostly peaceful, BLM occupations defended as community control, and now sacred spaces fair game. The implications are chilling—lawfare from the top shielding leftist thugs while AGs like Ellison hammer law-abiding gun owners over micro-violations. Remember January 6? That was branded insurrection; this is democracy. The double standard erodes the rule of law, priming the pump for when armed self-defense becomes the only bulwark against unchecked public voices turning violent.
2A patriots, take note: This isn’t about ICE or churches; it’s a trial balloon for normalizing force against dissenters. Stock up, train hard, and vote these authoritarians out—because when the mob comes for your rights, Ellison’s words will be their shield. The right to keep and bear arms exists precisely for moments when the state’s immunity crumbles under its own contradictions. Stay vigilant; the public voice cuts both ways.
