Agreed. But Kent State is a bad example to discuss First Amendment issues, too. The assemblies were not peaceful. There had been arson, looting, and violence. It was a disaster waiting to happen. That's why it's a better example for private citizens on how to avoid dangerous situations.

Re: Kent State 50 Years Ago - Four Dead in Ohio
I wouldn't frame Kent State as a Second Amendment issue. I think it's more of an example of situational awareness/danger avoidance and how to safely conduct yourself in the presence of armed law enforcement. We talk about those things all the time on this forum.iratollah wrote: ↑Tue May 05, 2020 1:04 am If anyone ever tells you "Only the government should have guns", ask them to describe what the government did with guns at Kent State University on May 4, 1970. Ask them if they'd be okay with history repeating itself. Ask them if they want to rewrite the Second Amendment would they also rewrite the First Amendment and remove Right of Assembly to petition the Goverment for a redress of grievances.
