They have guns, but do they know how to shoot? I was zooming in on guns from the Red Guard protest in Austin Tx and saw guns I would never dream of using to intimidate. keltec sub2k....that's a cqb weapon with a low capacity mag. I also saw several ruger 10/22s - the lowest power rifle though, was an air rifle.
If there was an AR, AK - right on, that would mean business..... These kids were a joke. Like the John Brown gun club - they didn't know what they were doing. Any competent marksman could have taken them out from 200 meters within minutes and never have been within their effective range.
