Gun lovers are fond of saying they need assault weapons to stave off the aggressions of a tyrannical government. Well, if combat troops occupy your town and attack protesters, would you see that as the tyranny you are prepared to fight? If you care about the 2nd amendment, you must also care about the 1st. Or are you going to tell us that ALL PROTESTERS are violent rioters? Or is it the issue they are protesting one you happen to go along with, it's okay for cops to kill suspects.
Or is it your Ramboesque fantasy of fighting "tyranny" just a childish cinematic fantasy?
I don't see it as tyranny at all, but a necessity. Mayors, Gov's won't do anything other than say "leave them alone", police are scared and the ones not scared are told to stand down.
I see it as stopping violent basement dwellers with no life and no clue.
Violent protesters are not 1st amendment protected.
Non violent protesters need not fear.
You have anything else stupid to say? Probably.
