I'm not a anarchist. Nor do I want civil unrest. Nor is our arguments based on straw men or fictionalized attempt at life.
Our discussion was if Gov't can ban objects and things based on nothing. We already have laws against such actions that criminals could do. Yet, you are choosing Govt to ban such objects just in case people act. That argument is the same of banning guns. Even though, we both agree and acknowledge that people will disregard any such prohibitions anyway.
Nor have you even attempted to argue that Gov't even has the authority to ban such items.
Anyway, the cages will be at the DNC and GOP conventions will make great television.
You and your naive friends who depend on the ACLU, DNC or NAACP versions of legal theory as a thin shield for civil anarchists, will encounter many cold, hard facts in Tampa, Florida.
But do have fun protesting against a group of people gathering together to exercise their free rights!
