Exactly correct. So, immediately after first guaranteeing the right to free speech, they foresaw that problem and stated the solution.

Something about hunting, or sports, I believe.

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, but if there's a bright spot to their existence, it's that they're not really trained to handle organized resistance.

SWAT losses would become quickly unsustainable if they lost their standard advantage of overwhelming numerical superiority.
