Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
Just one person being armed won't deter them. There's a reason the 2A specifies "well organized militia" It is your right to gather together with other armed citizens and use violence to defend your communities.
I've never seen a video of a cop shooting a protester while another protester is in the area with a rifle...
Can you show me a single example of me being wrong?
Because it's logically impossible for anyone to prove the opposite, I'd have to show you ever video of American law enforcement shooting someone...
How about shooting an innocent bystander and the armed protester while he was carrying a rifle.
They would have thought twice about shooting Arturo if he had a dozen armed friends nearby, I'd wager.
example of you being wrong
So...
That means you couldnt find an example of what I was actually g about?
Are you being sarcastic or can you really not tell the difference between those two sentences?
Bystander was a protestor.
Arturo was a protestor with a rifle, in the same area as bystander.
Bystander was shot.
"I’ve never seen a video of a cop shooting a protester (bystander) while another protester (Arturo) is in the area with a rifle…"

A civilian volunteer (peacekeeper for the organization that held the protest I'm pretty sure) that pledged not to have a gun. Shot another civilian who didn't pledge to have a gun, for having a gun...
What does this have to do with law enforcement again?
Who is the cop that shot someone?
Are you aware that you are arguing in bad faith?
It's well established that a line of armed men is the best way to prevent Police from rioting at a protest.
