That would not be good. There is no such thing as an "armed protest". It would be like "armed begging". If you beg on the streets, you are asking for money. If you point a gun at someone and ask for money, you are making an implicit threat that if you do not get the money, you will kill them.

So pointing a gun at someone and making demands is not protesting, it is violent threats.

Using the threat of violence to create social change is terrorism.

how in the hell can you come to the conclusion that having ONLY criminals be armed is a better world?

A Constitutionalist interpretation of law would not render a decision that cancels the Second Amendment.

However, a Constitutionalist interpretation of law would, and apparently did, cancel the wrongly reasoned decisions on Roe and Casey.

Even an activist justice RBG felt that the legal justification of the Roe Decision was an over reach.

Regarding the armed begging, it seems like there is more and more of that going on.

Violence that accompanies protest is terrorism. Violence is one of the ways in which the people can express their ideas to the Elected lying thieves who strive to ignore them after stealing from them.

The three basic forms of communication for the people to communicate ideas to our elected Representatives are speech both written and spoken, voting and violence. We seem to employ each in turn as the previous one failed.

When people believe that their voice and vote are ignored, they seem to resort to violence.

Gun control raises the price of illegal guns, and makes it harder for criminals to get it.

But back to the hypothetical, I would be worried such a decision would be watered down, so would want someone to leak the draft opinion, much like the anti-abortionists desperately wanted this draft opinion leaked.

The Founding Fathers knew the difference between peaceful assembly(without guns), and war(with guns).

Yes, LOL. It is also called armed robbery. You cannot point a gun at someone, and say that you would not have pulled the trigger if they did not give you the money. There is an implicit threat in pointing a gun.

Basically right. Violence, or the threat of violence is not protesting, it is terrorism.

That’s the right’s deflection now, the controversy isn’t the decision but rather the fact that it was leaked

Japan (a country of 125 million) had an entire year without any gun deaths. They typically have years with single or low double digit gun deaths. That is an extreme case, but it shows that even the extreme cases are possible.

Canada has more(per capita) hunting than the USA, and worse yet has the USA on its border. It has a culture as similar to the USA as any foreign country. And yet we have five times more gun deaths(per capita). Australia also has a gun culture, and yet we have 10 times more gun deaths than they do. Neither of these countries are as good as Japan, but they have greatly reduced gun deaths while keeping their gun culture.

Back to Japan, for an extreme example. No criminal in their right mind would walk around with a gun. If it were spotted, there would be no excuse. And illegal guns cost at least $50k there, so it would be a very rich criminal who could even afford one.

There is freedom of speech, and freedom of the press, but no freedom of violence. There is no right to commit violence for social change in the Constitution.

there is a right to violence to protect ourselves, our families, our fellow Americans, and our rights most of all.

Japan is an extreme example of something working that you say is impossible. Canada is a more reasonable example. Canadian culture is as similar to American as anything can be, and Canada has more hunting than the USA does.

thats possible, but would the response from the left be any different if it hadn't been leaked?

No, in fact, probably serves the GOP better it was leaked, coming out in June or July coupled with what is going to be a controversial gun decision in the New York case would have caused a bigger reaction closer to the elections. Besides, now they get time to rewrite the final opinion to make it seem less offensive to some
