      opinions vary, but I dont think we are at the ammo box stage quite yet.

      Are you meant to go to protests armed? What good would that bring? Are you expected to kill people at your protest?

        Only if you want to make change. Peaceful protests have a history of not working well. That’s why you’re encouraged to do them. People had to pay attention to the Black Panthers when they showed up. They didn’t have to use the rifles, just have them. Until we’re serious enough about it to carry rifles, we’re simply not serious enough for people to care.

            It is sad. I was really hoping someone like Bernie could be elected and we could things peacefully. Turns out, that’s not going to work.
