Okay, so if I hear some people are having a mildly rowdy protest in a town far away, where my half-auntie lives in the suburbs of, can I then grab a gun (despite not having a valid permit) and go there, purposefully antagonise protesters until they retaliate and then shoot them?
That’s a completely cool thing to do? You think I’d get away with that, or might “the law” (some rightwing shithead in a judges gown) look at it differently when it’s not one of his good old boys doing the shooting?
