Let me correct that for you.
Law abiding citizens NORMALLY do not riot.
This could be the trigger that changes all that.
What will they do (law abiding citizens)? They may protest, but RIOT? You know they won’t, it’s just not something they’ll do. We will not destroy others’ property just so we can get our way. It’s totally un-American.
We are delusioned to think respectable citizens will engage in the same despicable behavior as thugs and thuglets.
Now, as to defend ourselves, re post #230? That would be a serious mistake to disregard and McCain is a fool to think all law abiding, armed citizens would just sit idly by and watch their friends and neighbors being violated.
