Yes, you’re right — I recently became aware of the fact that there were five fatal shootings during the riots of armed defenders against hooligans/looters during the LA riots. I suspect most of those were Korean grocers picking off looters.

Good for them.

Another historical vignette that illustrates the importance of second amendment rights is the Battle of Athens, TN. It was a miniature revolution that took place just after WWII. If you’ve never heard of it here is a link to the story — worth the read.
