Would protestors be safer? Thousands of masked people with guns. Chaos?

I can’t help but think that the only solution to ICE is a “well regulated militia” in combination with political reform, with both being necessary.

        I doubt they’re worried about that. Protest implies that the gun is symbolic or defensive. ICE is there to shoot, and will shoot first.

        If it turns into a gunfight, one side gets a gov pension when the smoke clears, and the other side gets prison if they live.

          Fair but it’s hard to pin down who shot who if there are hundreds/thousands of shooters and all wearing masks.

          I think the real issue would be having to deal with national guard.

        They think they’re beyond consequences and “it can’t happen to me, I’m the main character!”

          Legal repercussions are totally different than thousands of masked people with guns. They all know that the law is slow and easy to get around.
