If the police paint targeting lasers on the chests of peaceful protestors, then there should be some balance. Bloodshed doesn't usually occur if there is a balance of power. No, bloodshed would not make me happy, but showing the government that they don't have all the cards and that the people have the will and ability to stand up to tyranny would make me happy.

Really? So you are all ready for a shooting war, got everything you need, guns ammo, food, water, medical supplies, filled out your last will and testament? Be very careful what you wish for.

It would be a bloodbath. Somebody would fire off a shot, then all hell would break loose.

Which is the same argument made against the out and proud gay movement of the 80's and 90's. Where do you think the gun groups got the idea?

Point a gun at a law enforcement officer or soldier and they will not wait for you to fire first. Never been in that situation have you, good, and you should hope you never have to, it all happens Very Fast and is Never a Good Thing.

If a shooting war starts it will not stop it would escalate, and in all likelihood come to you, think.

It didn't happen at the Bundy Ranch. The feds backed off.

Different story. The Bundy ranch didn't erupt in a full-scale riot for almost a week. Think, man.

I don't think you can know what situations I have been in. No one should point a gun at anyone unless they intend to shoot them.
