  • Yea what I read was that he was “pointing a rifle at protesters”.

    Don’t aim a gun at a person if you are not ready to fight and die.

    I would argue this is not only self defence, but public defence.

    Edit: looks like its not completely clear if he was brandishing the rifle or just open carying, obviously my argument doesn’t technically hold water if he was just open carrying.

    I would also argue that open carying a weapon well know for use in mass shootings right next to a large crowd is probably a dumb idea even if it’s legal to do.

    Your point is so important that I don’t think it can be stressed enough.

    Nonviolent protests are more popular in public opinion. Public opinion gets you more people on your side. More people on your side is more power, and when the regime starts cracking down on peaceful protests, it will be easier to get more people to fight than it would be of we advocate for violence from the start.
