Is this not the reason the second amendment exists? Regards An Australian Edit: I’m not advocating for violence. More so “a well regulated militia” which could be established by protesters or Democratic Governors for genuine self defence.

    Look up what happened to the Black Panther Party (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Panther_Party).

    If people showed up organized and armed, the Federal government would be more than happy to use under the table tactics to make sure we’d never see our families again.

    With that being said, I wouldn’t be surprise if people are armed but just not being public about it. Armed protestors are usually the nuclear option for any movement, but it’s good to have that unspoken option on the table behind the scenes.

      Yeah I’m familiar with what happened there. I was thinking more so of Democratic states where the Governor is resisting ICE and would be somewhat supportive of this.

      This, why would a given group of protestors all open carry? I’d expect a mass of conceal-carried weapons, though.
