    Sounds like a bad idea to me. This goes both ways. Radical Libs would use as excuse to run down pro life demonstrators, or anyone else they disagree with.

    Imagine a pro 2nd amendment rally with folks carrying weapons.

    peace to you

    Pro life demonstrators do not block traffic and jump on cars while threatening to kill them. Not the same thing

    I know that. But radical libs can claim they feared for their lives when they saw a “mob” carrying guns.

    Let’s not forget, there were some shooting paint ball guns at “protestors”. It escalated to where a TR:MP supporter was murdered in plain sight.

    I think it’s a bad idea. People are already allowed to use force to defend themselves.

    peace to you

    Right now innocent people are being stopped by mobs, dragged out of their cars, beaten and or killed. They need a reasonable means of escape regardless of how the thugs react. This is a good thing.

    Than the law should specific that such action would only be valid when protesters are in the street.
