Not everyone can afford big guns and heavy armor; nor have the training/licensing required to cary/display them.

3D printed whistles are a cheap and easy aid. Every bit of resistance helps.

    Exactly.

    Recommending that random untrained people go around armed is a recipe for disaster (see: ICE's random untrained people going around armed). It's irresponsible, at best.

    I read these people as if they're calling for violence but trying to skirt the line in a way that doesn't get them banned.
