It's one thing to be educated on how to safely hand a firearm over to police if someone drops one. That's not an element of intent to cause harm. It's another to teach people how to turn a flagpole into a weapon.

If you "look forward" to self-defense, it's not fucking self defense anymore.

Ofc, this isn't legal advice, consult a lawyer, etc etc.

Isn't the burden of proof on the state to prove that there was intent to harm? I guess in this case there's discord logs, but it doesn't seem like a stretch that this could be used against peaceful protestors with picket signs by classifying them as "arms".
-
Yes, the burden is on the state, and that's why the intent element is there. The state can't claim picket signs were implements if there is no evidence of intent.

Whereas the discord logs literally have people sharing info like "embed a bolt in the handle then you can unscrew a knob and you have a nice pointy end"
