1. Right wing intimidation
That's the only reason even though they wrap themselves in the flag and blather endlessly about their second amendment rights.

2. Me too. I guess we'll have to have another Kent State, where the Guard thought there was a gun,

6. It's hard for to imagine what might have happened
at some of the demonstrations where the cops were armed to the teeth in riot gear, like the last two Republican conventions.
