Is the Right to Armed Self-Defense Obsolete?
When the government refuses to stop looting and rioting, armed self-defense is the only deterrent.

“... the police, often on direct orders from mayor and public safety chiefs, often stood by while looting and rioting gripped American cities. This abdication of basic policing responsibilities rather weakens the argument that people should just rely on police, as do calls to defund the police.
... the major national media outlets barely reported the violence and why local governments didn't stop it.
... much of the violence was planned and coordinated by organized leftist (and overwhelmingly white) anarchists, who used the the cause of racial justice and police reform to promote their own violent agenda.”
He’s saying that yes, the right to self-defense is being obsoleted by left-leaning government, just when we need it most: “...if law enforcement is unwilling or unable to preserve basic law and order, it’s both inevitable that citizens will try to fill the breach, and desirable that law-abiding individuals should be given the means to do so.”
