And of course it's flagged. Because the use of technology built from companies funded by VC has nothing to do with Hacker News and Ycombinator. Dang and company are such a joke (yes, that's a direct violation of the rules, maybe it'll get their attention) for allowing these sorts of stories to be flagged.

It doesn't matter what I think. The reality is most people who voted, voted for this or something like this. This will only change at the ballot box, assuming you believe in fair elections.

The Federalist papers, Thomas Jefferson, and the Supreme Court as recently as 2008 have all identified the right to bear arms as a mechanism for protection against a tyrannical state. It's surprising as a 2A supporter that you seem unaware of why the amendment exists. Is that true, or is there something more here?
The leap you are making is that citizens perceive immigration enforcement as tyrannical.
The creators and defenders of the second amendment were and are smart people. They were skeptical of highly concentrated power, which is why we have a federalist system; they were also highly skeptical of large concentrations of militarized police power, which is why our police in general are run by states and municipalities. It is really quite difficult to reconcile support of a massive ICE apparatus with any sort of comprehension of the political philosophy of the US constitution.

If you believe a story shouldn't have been flagged, email mods at hn@ycombinator.com.
(Mods also don't see mentions of their names, email is how you attract moderators' attention.)

Moderators are ultimately responsible for moderation. The moderation system is failing when it comes to technology issues with a political tint. (In contrast, it has been pretty good with rage bait foreign policy stuff. Genuinely good discussions around quality content.)
If folks are bandwagon flagging content with a consistent bias, the system should shadow ban their flags for a while.
The US is going down the gutter, it's sad and pathetic.
Yeah, that's some Gestapo level business... or since they don't like that word, Stasi. As in, there were loads of people in the DDR (East Germany, 1949-1989) whose job it was to read people's personal mail, along with the network of neighborhood snitches.
They really should just create "report your fellow users" snitching website. Oh, I should make such a website and sell it to the Stasi, I'm going to be rich! Easier would be to hint at Zuck that Trump wants that feature built-in on Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram, and the subservient billionaire will get right on it.
