UPDATE: Virginia has advanced what the media is happy to call an "assault weapons" ban; but the definition of "assault weapon" embraces most firearms in common use.

In Virginia, armed protesters are demonstrating against the new radical Democratic Party authority's attempts to constrain their rights. This is important, and something we must not lose sight of in the larger context. Armed protests are an American right, as arms are. Our heritage is Lexington & Concord, which were exactly about an attempt by a government to disarm the people.

It is interesting to me that you can often get a large group of armed individuals together in one place like this and those gatherings, with maybe one or two exceptions, do not have bad interactions with law enforcement or anybody else. On the other hand, large groups of ostensibly unarmed individuals gather together, and you can pretty much count on violent encounters with both law enforcement and anybody else within reach. And it is also not terribly hard to predict what will happen just based on observing the object of the demonstration.
Fair. I never have problems with cops, in spite of my suspicion of cop-like behavior. Usually I like them if I get to know them and vice-versa.
