truly. they will likely intensify their efforts if we do, but the only other option we have is to keep rolling over and allowing it.
I can't prove this, but I suspect they have some way of finding out who has a firearm, so they can avoid that person.
I also suspect, but cannot prove, that the media will hide it when one of them gets shot. I say this because one of them got hit by a car and it wasn't nationwide news served up by tearful news anchors about this innocent agent who would never hurt a fly.

Nah someone carrying a "gun" just gives them a legal reason to shoot someone. Case in point Alex Pretti, Philando Castile, Daniel Shaver, Stephon Clark, Tamir Rice, etc. If an officer suspects you might be thinking about shooting then they can legally kill you.
We're already pretty close to open civil war. Might as well rip the bandaid off and get it over with i guess. I'd rather not, but that's the way things seem to be going.
They might intensify their efforts a little faster than they would have otherwise, but I guarantee you they will intensify their efforts either way.
