Didn't work with Hitler.
Won't work with Putin.

Not going to work with the GOP either.

Forgive the cliche here.

Coming with guns themselves being "the right to bear arms shall not be abridged", should send a message that guns in the hands of the "good guys" protesting the NRA convention, would be shocking in retrospect. Not to cause violence, but to illustrate just how LUDICROUS the NRA position really is.

I can dream.

Like others have said, a dose of their own medicine...
On the other hand this is just a shoot out waiting to happen i'm afraid... YMMV

What if "libs" applied for a permit for an armed demonstration EVERYWHERE?

First, there would be an immediate ban on guns, and
Second, a ban on demonstrations, so nobody would even have to show up.
BUT THANKS TO MODERN ZUCK TECHNOLOGY, make a VIRTUAL appearance.

Given recent events, I am advising against spooking people in crowded rooms with closed doors.

Not even this, though it's a nice thought.
