They want to be like Kyle Rittenhouse
That’s what we all get for the far right glorifying that little shithole.
Violent Radical Right Plants! paid by sor… elon!
Today in “news that shocks no one” …
And that’s how to start a civil war
Y’all better learn to carry…
If you’re wielding a gun I don’t think you are a protester.
Strong disagree. I think most protesters being armed would make for better protests.
Cops always leave the large groups of armed people alone. I wonder why…
Easiest way to get gun control is start imidating the police.
But at the same time if they didn’t have trigger happy cops to deal with and “counter protesters” with guns they wouldn’t need to protect themselves so aggressively. I get where you are coming from and I agree that people need to defend themselves, but if we go down this route the most likely result will just be more violence. I’m not ready to let significantly more people die just because I’m pissed off. I understand that things are bad but they can be so much worse.
On a side note, even though I disagree with you this reminded me of the episode of South Park where everyone in town gets a gun and it finally gets everyone to speak their minds about everything. And then someone, I can’t remember who, says something along the lines of “wow, guns really are amazing” as they all finally get along while they all point guns at each other. Off topic as all hell, but it made me laugh.
good guys with guns to stop bad guys with guns.
And that’s how we ended up with cops in schools and, in some cases, teachers with guns. And that hasn’t backfired whatsoever. /s
no lies detected.
just … staring at the place we’ve arrived at with naked disgust, is all.
Ah Loo disagrees.
Given that the person who accidentally shot Ah Loo also credibly prevented a mass shooting, that’s not the gotcha you think it is.

No they were shooting at a leftist known for legally open carrying at protests, and there’s video of him just walking with the gun pointed down before he gets unexpectedly shot at.
Oh, that’s fucked up then. Should definitely be arrested and charged.
So more guns at protests being a good thing has a cutout specifically excluding ones being used for mass shootings?
Armed minorities are harder to oppress.
See: Black Panthers.
No, if you are wielding a gun I don’t think you’re a counter-protestor. That is just someone looking to shoot someone.
Protestors generally could carry a gun to defend themselves.
