Flashing a gun at those GI Joe wannabes would have triggered their tiny brains to go into shoot to kill mode, and it would have been a massacre.
These dimwits are trained for full blown military responses. That’s easy for them, they have the gear, the training, and the psychopaths to shoot on sight.
What they can’t handle is massive civil disobedience, because they can’t arrest 100k, 500k, 1 million people who are out there lawfully protesting.
But it’s nutjobs like you, or that moron who sped their car at the agents, who will fuck it up for everyone.
Don’t bring your gun. Keep it at home, and if shit gets to the point where they start killing people, then defend yourself.
You act like I’m advocating murder. I’m advocating letting the government know that we can also have weapons and fight back. That doesn’t make me a fucking nut job, it makes me someone who has read a history book.
Civil disobedience has almost never worked, compared to armed disobedience. Even if those weapons are never fired. The point isn’t to go in shooting, it’s to get the military and police to back down and give the people what they demand.
You’re advocating for us to all roll over and wait until this administration gives us what we’re politely but firmly asking for. Which will never happen. They live for a show of force.
Keep holding your beliefs, it’ll be the last thing through your smug brain before the government executes you.
Show them a gun and you better be prepared to pull that trigger the moment they see it, because you’re going to die.
In a tense situation where there’s been some minor violence, a gun will immediately escalate things to a lethal level.
Stick to what I said and don’t make up stuff in your head please. I’m not against forceful opposition - rocks fly, things catch on fire, barricades get erected.
But don’t give them an armed conflict where they will 100% win, and much more easily spin it to fit their agenda.
That’s exactly what the Hamas attacks did - those fucking morons opened the door and put down a red carpet for Israel to get away with launching a full out “justified” war.
I love how you mention “they” aren’t going to kill unarmed protestors, and then proceed to mention a literal event in which they did. This country is founded on the government and corporations killing unarmed protestors.
What’s the acceptable number of dead people before also showing you’re armed is acceptable? Is it 5? 10? Maybe 1000?
If you pull up with guns they may kill you, but you have a better fighting chance than not. Plus if you were already going to die, since you’re so kind to sacrifice some people, wouldn’t you rather take some of them with you?
You’re playing by a made up set of rules where you think you being more moral than them makes you superior but it makes you dead and a loser.
There is no acceptable amount of civilian murders. The Fascists know this, and so they want an excuse to justify it. Bringing guns to protests gives them an excuse. It also makes the armed protestors the first targets of the thug forces, and triggers the cops’ shitty ingrained fear of everyone trying to kill them—that the fucking “training” they get—fills them with.
Open carry would have stopped NOTHING.

With what? Left weapon at home.
They aren’t going to kill many unarmed protesters, especially initially. There’s a reason they stopped at 4 during the Kent state fiasco.
Most of us will be fine and able to go home and plan for guerrilla tactics that have a better chance of survival later.
Edit: decided to emphasize my point even though only one person apparently missed it.

He never said they aren’t going to kill anyone.
He said they aren’t going to kill many.
Which is true, up until a bunch of people pull guns, and then they’ll kill everyone.
