    I wouldn't call it "brilliance" I would call it "idiotic". But it's your unfounded conclusion.

    Fact is that Trump has done absolutely nothing to get his blind followers like those idiots to refrain from committing those acts. But he has done much to make it worse. Such irresponsible and idiotic behavior is not comparable to anybody in our political scene.

    So much hypocrisy.....

    MONTHS of rioting and the left.....did.....nothing. It pathetically took POLLS...POLLS!!!!!....to tell Biden and Harris that they should be condemning riots.

    But sure, tell me how outraged you are about one little protest on one day.

    And how is it not comparable when you have democrat politicians telling people to harass conservatives???? (maxine waters if you live in a cave)

    You realize that it is perfectly possible for BOTH sides to be wrong on the issue of not condemning violence, right?
    Your view that one side has to be better than the other has been proven wrong so many times it's become a joke ...

    I don't believe protesting or being armed is an issue. Both actions are protected. Threats are a different story, but I did not see any evidence of threats. Everyone has a camera in their phone, so I would expect to see some video.

    It is also unacceptable for government to get involved in who people want to marry. Minimal government equals higher quality of life.

    The left did not promote rioting. Has no control over rioters and absolutely no influence. Trump did promote this. And has done nothing to stop it despite the fact that these are his followers.

    Hypocrisy indeed....

    I used to do that. Now I collect guns to protect myself from progressive rioters who may try to come burn down my house or pull me out of my car for driving down the wrong street. Technically it is still fighting the government because it is democrat politicians who stand by and do nothing while these people are assaulting innocent bystanders. The government found a different army to unleash upon the true Americans of this country. Pretty crazy how that played out but I'm glad I was on the 2nd amendment side of the argument.

    No it doesn't. Protesting is protesting whether you are armed or not

    Non armed rioters burning down local businesses is however. You were pretty silent on that terrorism it seems

    So would you ban firearms for armored car guards?

    You are incorrect. Is Los Angeles not a part of the US? Should L.A. also pass laws against free speech?

    Intelligence discussion requires understanding ones position. The forum member I was replying to has not taken a clear position and I was asking for clarity. I appreciate you admitting you were wrong about the strawman. That is a trait I admire.

    "Michigan Secretary of State say armed protesters gathered outside her home"

    Carrying a gun through town is one thing. Open carry laws allow it. But gathering with others outside a home constitutes a threat with a gun which is a crime anywhere. And these criminals should be charged with that crime.

    Incorrect.

    They are allowed to protest, and they are allowed to be armed.

    They are patriots making their voices heard.

    Your opinion, only confirms why they should be armed in the first place. The ensure they can’t be arrested for that type of irrational desire to arrest them.

    i dont care if you are left-wing or right-wing.

    if you protest with a gun, you are a terrorist, seeking to intimidate your opposition into doing what you want.

    Incorrect.

    They are patriots, and you cannot do anything to stop them from exercising their rights.

    open carry should be illegal.

    it serves no purpose, other than to intimidate people.

    It’s not illegal.

    It serves much more purpose than that, your inability to see it is your own fault.

    Regardless these patriots made their pretense known and you cannot do anything about it.

    They shoudn’t, but either way these patriots made their voices heard despite the irrational calls to arrest them.

    They showed up, armed, and rdy to protect themseves.

    Way to go Patriots!

    They showed up to make their voices heard, and they showed up armed to ensure corrupt dems could not lock them up as you are suggesting.

    They are patriots, and they are powerful. Nothing you can do about it.
