    Now imagine if everyone was armed to the teeth and showed up to protest peacefully. I feel like that’s what it would take to make kidnappers think twice about fucking around.

      In many states, it is illegal to bring weapons of any kind to a protest or demonstration, often whether said event has permits or not.

          Bring sporting equipment. Golf, hockey, baseball - all very popular athletic pursuits.

            The J6 Insurrectionists have insisted that the J6 Traitors were unarmed, and the bats, cattle prods, chains, spears, flagpoles, etc. weren’t weapons, so that made J6 a “peaceful” demonstration.

            Perhaps we should give them a taste of their version of a peaceful demonstration.

          You’re going to have to provide a specific citation for that. If you’re talking about 2A, that right to bear arms is already not a right to carry anywhere at any time.
