>> second amendment case is not made

That's a good point - this isn't a paper addressing a 2A defense for this conduct. It's more a response to those in the legal community who argue for a very limited or prescribed interpretation of 2A rights, in light of the ongoing rioting.

The value to this forum IMO is that he's researched and documented the recent actions by local governments and police that have put the public at risk, and also examples of how the public has responded.

And I imagine that people here who track the evolution of 2A legal opinion will be interested in the paper itself.
