I think the most likely source of armed conflict, though, will come from all of the teenage boys who carry Glock pistols with switches. That has been the source of considerable firearms activity here in the Twin Cities for a couple of years now. Kids of ages from 12-16 seem to use such firearms to engage in various activities, generally having to do with being disrespected by someone.

They do that because they are almost never prosecuted for doing so. There appears to be an almost endless supply of such handguns in the area.

So, that would be where I'd think such armed attacks against the ICE folks will originate.
