[QUOTE="iluvatar5150, post: 77654772, member: 313046"] I think the people involved in them are... not good people, but I'd like left-wing protests to be treated with the same sort of respect and consideration as the right wing groups. Amusingly, I think this disparity is the strongest case I've seen for the argument that being armed is a legitimate tool for curbing government abuse. The 2A Meal Team Six crowd thinks their kitted out AR's will enable them to fend off the regular military when the feds come to round them up - a scenario that's preposterous for many reasons. But what seems to be more likely is that the threat of being armed is enough to keep local riot cops from getting too aggressive. There's no downside to them attacking some blue haired hippies, but some strapped good old boys could put up a real fight. That's assuming the cops didn't agree with the right-wing protesters, which... lol. [/QUOTE]
