Rather, I find it interesting that people do not apply the same standard for the bigger threat (since we are examining all of these after the fact and know that one was more dangerous than the other), which was someone abruptly driving their car into a crowd of protestors.
If the couple was justified in pointing their guns as protestors armed with ipads and microphones, the man pushing his gf in a wheelchair would then be justified in pointing their gun at the car that drove at him as it actually threatened him. I don't think either were justified (assuming the second one happened), but that's just me.
Do we know the man drive his car into a crowd or did the crowd surround his car? There's plenty of videos of mobs surrounding peopl's cars and beating on them. Simply search for mob surrounds car.
As we don't know the sequence of events are obviously speculating.

No one said that, quit being intentionally inflammatory.
Quote:The 2A crowd better get on message here. I'm starting to think they only want people they agree with to have guns and be able to use them.
I see this argument from leftists on reddit and elsewhere all the time and it never ceases to amuse. "Hey 2A people, this is tyranny, come on and rise up." Let me clue you in, the vast majority of 2A enthusiasts aren't going to "rise up" to defend the very people who have been trying to take away their 2A rights for decades. Or, to put it another way, "not your personal army".
Quote:And that comes from a guy who wants fewer guns pointed at strangers no matter who they are.
I'd prefer no one point a gun at anyone, or rather never had the need to. Sadly we will never live in such a world. But you are the guy who wants to restrict 2A rights but want 2A enthusiasts to be on your side. Intradesting to say the least.
