Those streets lined with single family homes would have our 2A advocates on every roof on both sides with rifles and plenty of ammo.

Each street would be a gauntlet.

I'm certainly not advocating for such a thing. I don't believe in violence, and I don't think it would go well for many. It's certainly a good thing that we're far more civilized today. Right?
