And the new guns would be used to shoot the demonstrators? I fail to see any connection here.

those that are intimidating people would probably be less likely to do that if they knew those they are hassling might shoot them

I have no problem with civil protests. I have major problems with assholes making nuisances of themselves and annoying, inconveniencing, or preventing others from engaging in lawful business.

I am sure than no law abiding gun owner would dare to something as illegal and immoral as what you are suggesting. Why do you have such little faith in gun owners that you would imply they would shoot somebody from just being annoyed?

They were all excited talking about this on ABC news last night. They were speculating that this may be a huge new movement that will rev up the base and get the vote out for Obama.

Or maybe Ron Paul the famous anti-banker, don't you think?

Oh but it is the point. Arming people with the anticipation that they might shoot somebody that irritates them 0 or is merely impolite - is highly irresponsible, not to mention advocating criminal behavior.

Sounds like you are advocating a risky and dangerous escalating arming of society all because you object to this particular protest. If you did get your wish, and somebody took you up on your dream of shooting people because others share your opinion that they are .... what was it again that you termed them ..... scumbags...... I wonder if you would feel any guilt that innocent people were murdered?

Which is a very real risk when people advocate irresponsible things like a dangerous escalation in who gets and carries weapons.

Why would the mere carrying of a gun deny another person their Constitutional rights?

Since when is it a constitutional right for a mob to harrass other American citizens? Care to show me that amendment?

Touche' My perspective exactly.
 
Just watched the videos Graffias posted (post 156) and cried a little bit watching the police put handcuffs on a 13 yo who was not resisting in any way. Reminds me so much of the 1960s and the civil rights marches - especially how the police are acting. I hope some of the videos end up in court as evidence in lawsuits against the NYPD.

As for those urging people to take up arms. That sort of thinking resulted in a lot of unnecessary injuries and deaths in the 1960s and I have no doubt the result would be the same today.

The First Amendment protects the right of free speech and assembly as well as to petition for grievances. I suspect your copy of the Constitution has that in it.
