"These guys with guns are threatening to me!"

Deal with it - they're exercising their second amendment rights.

"But their very presence is a chilling effect on my right to protest!"

Second amendment. No arguments. Suck it up. What are you, afraid of citizens exercising their rights?

"But why do they need guns, here?"

They don't need a reason. Second amendment. But if you want a reason, it's to protect themselves and others from bad people.

"But there are no bad people here! We're not going to get violent with our protest."

Someone might. They've done it in the past. That's what the buffer was for, but now that's gone. So now we need a different way to keep people safe. The only solution to a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.

"But this is crazy and unfair! It makes me feel unsafe!"

Deal with it. Second amendment. The only person who would complain about a law-abiding citizen exercising his right to bear arms is a bad guy. Are you a bad guy? Well? Let's have a word with that nice fellow holding a rifle, shall we?

"This is fucked up."

Yes it is. But you made this bed - now lie in it.

The possession of such burglarious tools, implements or outfit by any person other than a licensed dealer, shall be prima facie evidence of an intent to commit burglary, robbery or larceny.

some people have expressed the opinion that the buffer laws helped to make the antichoice protesters (sidewalk counselors, my eye) seem reasonable and non-threatening.

years ago a true believer stationed himself outside my son's middle school at dismissal time with a huge sign informing the kids that they would burn in hell forever unless they accepted jesus christ as their personal saviour. i didn't think that should have been allowed either.

Yet a skimpy dressed woman walking by can be arrested for being indecent!

According to the incident report, Jonas said she was hot, tried giving up walking around with barely anything on and wants to live in a nudist colony.
