Please cite the rhetoric that lead to a kid trying to defend businesses from rioters.
Please explain how the authorities were successfully defending these establishments.
Please explain how, by virtue of the open carrying of a firearm, does one waive his right to self defense and invite mob attacks.
You seem to have thought this through and I'd love to hear the reasoning behind your assertions.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: If, as a bonus, you could define "assault rifle" for me I'd really appreciate it.
