At some point, [soft] weapons will be needed by hardened Patriots.
To my understanding, this...by the definition of the State...would not be a weapon of lethal force.
Like tear gas or bean bags.
What’s that old saying about “Politics ain’t beanbags”? 🤣
If things get stupider Patriots will need more than squirt guns. As I noted earlier a person can assume he’s being targeted by “lethal force” if he detects a radiation pointer on or near himself in my state. One then has the legal tight to respond with firepower. It’s good to be polite if one is going to wave around geewhiz flashlights.
