Is this not the reason the second amendment exists? Regards An Australian Edit: I'm not advocating for violence. More so "a well regulated militia" which could be established by protesters or Democratic Governors for genuine self defence.

That's not accurate.

The person shot and killed (Mr. Ah-loo) was unarmed. He was struck by a round fired at someone (mr. Gamboa) who had snuck out of the protest and returned with an AR-15.

Gamboa was arrested for attempted murder, and the person who fired the shot is/was being investigated, but has not been arrested/charged at this time

What are you saying is wrong? When I read the comment you reply to, they do say “The peacekeepers missed and killed a bystander.”, and “shot at a protester who was open-carrying an AR-15 at the protest”, which is what you're saying too.

The protester had no ill intentions, but the peacekeepers didn't know that.

Gamboa snuck away, retrieved a hidden gun, came back and pointed out at someone. He very clearly had ill intentions, and was arrested for attempted murder.

That's false.

He didn't make any attempt to hide when he took out his gun, did not load it, and when they didn't charge him after he was arrested a judge ordered him to be released.
