Those gun-toting homeowners in St. Louis are what gun ownership in America looks like

This sight of well-dressed homeowners emerging from an expensive house with firearms to stave off a peaceful protest appeared to strike many observers as incongruous. There are a slew of expectations about gun owners in the United States — rural hunters, suburban enthusiasts — but a pink-shirted lawyer emerging from a re-created Renaissance palazzo holding a long gun isn’t among them.
You see, that’s the way the MSM portrays self defense and defense of home and hearth. “Stave off a peaceful protest.”
So it isn’t really true that they were threatened. It isn’t really true that the mob had designs on burning the house to the ground. It isn’t really true that the mob broke through the gate.
This WaPo commenter knows better, even though he wasn’t really there, and even though he just made that up about “peaceful” protesters. He apparently knows the facts of the situation better than the people who were there – all from looking at photos and imagining things.
But if all else fails (and logic surely will too with the progs), why would anyone have to “stave off”a protest if it was peaceful?
