I think if you go look this up, you'll find that these people are not, in fact, particularly peaceful as protestors go. They're simply ignored by the police in ways that the dreadlocked hippies are not.
(I mean, sure, those are all exceptions. But then most of the people in Minneapolis weren't burning anything down either. Have you ever been to a left-wing march? This isn't a demographic known for temper.)
Painting with a mighty broad brush. So if YOU have a gun that automatically makes you a non-peaceful individual?
"Have you ever been to a left-wing march? This isn't a demographic known for temper."
Are you serious? Ever hear of Antifa?
