The government said that Berrios’ apprehension was driven in part because she is an associate of the violent gang MS-13, which has Salvadoran roots.

According to the current regime and their brownshirts, everyone with either Latin family or with a Latin name is associated with a violent gang, and they don't bother to demonstrate it in court.

This is exactly the hell we've been trying to prevent for fifty years, and failed.

This is sadly also getting to be familiar:

“No, it’s false. My mother, she works really hard since she was really little, and she never had anything to do with gangs or anything like that,” Cruz Berrios said during a recent interview on CNN, adding that her mother came to the U.S. in part to flee gang activity.

Notice this always happens in states without constitutional carry.

Drawing a weapon would have only gotten them perforated. No this warrants a few pounds of C4 and the willingness to die to set an example.

Most people aren't willing to make such a commitment, even though all our lives are forfeit at this point.

You say this as if it is easy/possible for most people to:

  1. Acquire C4
  2. Safely store it in their vehicle without arousing suspicions of their family and friends
  3. be able to detonate it at a moment’s notice but never accidentally.

I think they were more referring to taking action like a oklahoma city type thing. It's nearly as ridiculous to set up c4 in your car for this scenario as the people who keep guns by the bed and masturbate to the thought of a home invasion.

Difficult, but my point was that if we're going to respond with violence, guns will be not very effective. But there are other ways that will be.

ETA C4 is actually stable enough to be safely stowed, and is very hard to accidentally detonate. Typically we civilians have to resort to dynamite or homemade explosive compounds which deteriorate and are less reliable, either discharging when they shouldn't or failing to when they should.
