Then you decry the "personal attacks" and "lying" from others.
In the end I care about neither the reason nor your lying about what I said because your constant and petty attempts just make you look sad and small.
Take it up with someone who will fight with you or comment on the content posted. Choice is yours.
You'd need to demonstrate a factual difference between the protests for your position to not be contradictory. The sad thing is I'm on your side, I don't think people should be protested outside their private residences. The difference is I think that way in all instances, and you apparently don't when you support the protestors positions.

I'm clearly not saying carrying a gun should be considered a threat, but making it clear that you are against someone/unhappy with someone and you are gleefully armed can start bordering on a threat in some ways.
Oh, to be sure. But as long as no law is broken it's no different than having an angry screaming mob outside your home. Both are specifically designed to intimidate, which is why I'm universally opposed to the idea.
Quote:I guess the political figure aspect must make it a protest and therefore covered under peaceful. I'm not talking from experience here, but I wouldn't recommend standing outside your ex wife's house with a gun and screaming about how much you hate her.
You could, as long as you weren't breaking the law. Also, during the BLM protests private citizens had protestors outside their home because they did/said/posted something that those protestors found objectionable. Again, I don't agree with this type of action under any circumstances, but GM has routinely defended such protests in the past.
