Governor Tim Walz, the Democrats’ freshly minted VP pick who’s no stranger to deploying the National Guard—remember the 2020 Minneapolis riots?—has activated Minnesota’s finest once again. This time, it’s to counter escalating anti-ICE protests that have turned chaotic, with Guard units staging to back up local cops and emergency responders. Reports confirm the mobilization order came straight from Walz’s desk, as demonstrators rage against immigration enforcement amid a national surge in border-related tensions. It’s a stark reminder that when leftist outrage boils over, it’s often the state’s armed forces—drawn from the very communities these protesters claim to champion—that get called in to restore order.
For the 2A community, this isn’t just another protest story; it’s a flashing red light on the hypocrisy of gun-grabbers invoking military might. Walz, who once floated red flag laws and backed assault weapon bans, now leans on Guard troops armed with the very AR-15 platforms and standard-issue rifles that his party demonizes in civilian hands. These aren’t abstract debates—these are real operators with real firepower, protecting the homeland from domestic unrest. It underscores a core 2A truth: the state doesn’t hesitate to weaponize its monopoly on force when narratives shift from defund the police to back the blue against our own. Imagine if armed citizens, exercising their rights, showed up to support ICE—Walz’s crew would cry insurrection faster than you can say January 6th.
The implications ripple outward: as election-season chaos brews, expect more Guard activations in blue strongholds, potentially setting precedents for federalizing troops under a Harris-Walz ticket. 2A patriots should take note—this is your tax dollars arming the enforcers while politicians chip away at your personal defenses. Stock up, stay vigilant, and keep pushing back: the Second Amendment isn’t a relic; it’s the ultimate check against exactly this kind of selective firepower. If Walz trusts the Guard with full-auto readiness, why can’t you trust yourself with a standard semi-auto? Game on, Minnesota.
