1. For those that may not know, the plan is to riot in DC every night between now and the election, and probably after that. There were no riots in Portland last night for the first time in 93 days. This is not a coincidence, it’s because they’ve traveled to DC (and some stooped in Kenosha along the way, but rest assured it’s just a side quest).

   1. I want to pass a Federal law. Any member of congress who is not a prohibited person is granted a Washington DC concealed carry permit from swearing in until last day in office.

      1. Only if every citizen in similar condition is similarly granted a permit. A member of Congress, by him or herself, has no authority, no position, no nothing. They already write the laws to exempt themselves, for the most part. Don’t help them.

         1. On principle I agree but I’m tired of the perfect being the enemy of the good. You know Democrats will never pass universal concealed carry. Nor will they carry given the chance. Republicans might and some will carry since the mob goes after them. So let Republican members of Congress carry and then we petition them to extend that right. But blocking them until we all get it cuts off our nose to spite our face.

            Besides, DC is a federal district so congress has sole authority in the district to pass laws in the district. They could do it if they wanted.

            1. Actually, I think you’d be surprised how many pro-gun-control Democrats carry. Lori Lightfoot, Chicago’s mayor, for example.

         2. GMC, I agree entirely. I proposed back in 2013 an “Equal Protectoin Amendment” to make that principle be law:

   2. Demonstrated by “Riot Kitchen” getting arrested in Wisconsin carrying illegal fireworks, protective vests, gas masks, and illegal drugs.

      While it was most likely pot, I think there’s a good chance the drugs were methamphetamines, so their foot soldiers get all worked up and berserk.

2. To be more accurate, the strobe lights were an irritant and would help facilitate an attack as noted. I would not describe them as “blinding weapons” because it sounds like it is permanent. Sounds hyperbolic and that is the domain of the very Fake News Media.

   Please reserve that phrase for the lasers employed by “panti-fa” to damage the vision of LEOs.

   For me, is someone shines a laser on me then I assume they are trying to blind me or that it is a weapon targeting system and that would meet the threshold of a credible threat of death or bodily harm and I would produce my sidearm.

   1. I’d disagree, temporary blindness is bad. If you are left temporarily blind and can’t drive, what happens if you retreat to your car but can’t drive away? What if temporarily blinding a person allows someone with a club or knife to advance on them to deliver a fatal blow?

      Lasers are bad buy at this point I’m going to classify any photonic weapon that causes any loss in vision, permanent or temporary a blinding weapon. Is not hyperbole. I was hit with an arc flash and it blinded me for several hours (not blind-blind, but a big dark spot in the middle of my vision that made it impossible to focus on anything), I recovered but I was incapacitated for that time.

3. Braden: true, enough. It would be interesting to know how frequently strobing lights can elicit convulsions in susceptible individuals.

   I mean, zebra vs uncommon vs common vs cause=effect?
