C*******m!

Singularity

Violent i**********n. What you get when everybody forgets their guns but remembers to bring potato salad.

Give a bunch of good ole boys nothing but a bowl of potato salad for lunch, they'll eat it, of course.

For an appetizer. After lunch, they'll keep the cutlery and set out looking to bring home red meat for dinner...

I believe the proper term for an i**********n where the only people with guns are the authority being insurrected against is called a r**t. (Unless you are A****a or B*M, in which case it is called a "mostly peaceful demonstration.")

Singularity

So why is it always important to remember where the pitchforks are buried!

Singularity

New start, seriously this time.

A r**t is a disorganized or poorly directed often spontaneous disturbance of the public peace.

An i**********n is also a disturbance of the public peace. It may or may not be planned and advance organized, but its defining feature is that it is directed at authority or the government in immediate control.

Guns are not the only things in existence that can be used as weapons of violence against others. Hint, the general categorical is "arms"! The association of these tools with or as body parts means the concept goes way back in the lexicons.

Swords to ploughshares (or plowshares) is a concept in which military weapons or technologies are converted for peaceful civilian applications. ... In addition to the original Biblical Messianic intent, the expression "beat swords into ploughshares" can be reverse engineered rather quickly and crudely. Note: f**gpole to spear conversion requires simply disrespecting one's own f**g. Fire extinguisher to blunt rock, just an imagination.

Also it is possible to "Beat someone using a ploughshare, even easier if using a pitchfork, shovel, walking cane, f**gpole... stolen baton or service revolver, fire extinguisher, etc.

So, that taken care of, I did not see any insurgents who were unarmed!!!
