Well, Mr. Pretti was 2A carrying, and what do I hear? "He shouldn't have been carrying", " he was reaching for his gun", "you don't know, you weren't there", " he was a violent individual confronting federal officers", and so on. Rules for thee but not for me and all that.

Also suddenly it's, "never go to a protest while armed".

Unreal coming from them.

Even putting Kyle Rittenhouse aside, the right is notorious for bringing firearms to protests in states with open carry laws.

"never go to a protest while armed".

Funny how the authoritarians are so big on that lately, when they're still blue in face from reciting an amendment that says "I can if I want and I'll absolutely do it again, fashy."

The key to showing up armed is to have friends, preferably many, also armed.

It's easy to single out and bludgeon a peaceful concealed carrier with naught but helpless spectators around and conveniently see the weapon on his person as an "imminent threat" after executing him on the street. (God rest his soul)

If the local 2A club was peacefully standing out there, the thugs would definitely reconsider violence as their first resort.
