I agree that we can't have people getting mobbed being unable to defend themselves but at the same time, some people are really going overboard with trying to make this guy some kind of poster boy for 2A rights. We SHOULD be pointing out he's an instigator and he escalated the situation and most importantly, he was unlawfully carrying.

Don't we always say if the courts would enforce the gun laws when they're violated we'd have less problems with criminals having guns? k, well, this guy violated guns laws and he's a criminal. This isn't exactly Bunker Hill here.

I'm not happy someone did something about it. I think that's the dumbest thing to do.

It's a Democrat city in a Democrat State and everyone in authority is a Democrat or under the leadership of a Democrat. I think we should sit back and watch the Democrats destroy their own strongholds.

Three years ago, I was digging into how a civilian conflict would occur in the U.S. I realized the Dems were all in cities that were largely enclosed. Those are their "castles" so to speak. The only way to win against the "castles" was to siege them.

Now we don't have to, not that it's going to come to that and this is of course just an analogy.

The Democrats are metaphorically sieging their own castles.

Yes, we should sit by and do nothing. well, maybe popcorn is good idea.

No state has a 100% Democrat voter base. Therefore, there are Americans in each of those blue states who are being TARGETED by the "lords" of your "castles". They are, effectively, HOSTAGES in their own lands: and it is patently irresponsible for you to suggest that our appropriate response should be to get some popcorn and be entertained while our brethren lose their livelihoods, their homes and businesses, and possibly their LIVES: simply because you consider them acceptable losses.

I'm in Connecticut. They don't get much bluer than this dungheap. And I'm not leaving. I have my rights, and I will USE them if and when needed, political expediency be damned. And should the situation go hot, if you think my peril is suitable for your amusement, then you lose both your presumed moral superiority, AND your ticket to the mental sorting bin labeled "Friendlies". Best stay home.
