Just a suggestion, but becoming armed before becoming violent might be a better order of progression.

LOL what country do you think this is? "Becoming armed"? Bro this is America.

except the ones who have traditionally fought against the right to bear arms is the same people protesting. they need to be armed, and they need to protest with their arms, same reason a government will parade with their weapons

yes, and my point still stands

[–] homes@piefed.world 2 points 18 hours ago

Lol, good point, but I was speaking more in a general sense, not just this country.

That might be the more logical progression, but logic rarely comes into play in these things.

In fact, being armed before it's time for violence is often a bad thing.

But when it is time, anything at hand can be a weapon.

Paris housewives once marched on Versailles and decapitated several guards with kitchen knives after they opened fire on the crowd.

You can make nearly anything into a weapon or a musical instrument. Remember that, and you'll always be safe, and entertained.

A primary exception is the marshmallow. Pretty much useless for either.

Someone's never forced 20 marshmallows down someone's throat and it shows
