I’m not American, but from my perspective, the modern interpretation of your second amendment seems to cause way more oppression than it relieves in practice.
Also, if there is a group of people with the “conviction” to kill other people with lethal force, that would be exactly where police should be getting involved.
Getting a bit off-topic, but since you brought it up I’d be remiss not to respond.
Your thinking is sonewhat correct. A group with firearms and the heart to use them would be a threat if the first response is to shoot. In most cases however the protest attempts to remain peaceful. Also, in many cases, only a small percentage have that conviction, but that small amount scares the police enough to keep them back.
