Statutes like this are really weird. Does it criminalize a gun safety course? A martial arts class? NVDA training?

The key element is the intent clause. It has to be done with intent for those techniques to be used in a civil disorder.

There's also the intent to cause harm. It's not illegal to, say, practice de-escalation training. It's not illegal to prepare for a situation where firearms are expected, so long as you don't intend to bring firearms to cause harm.

The discord logs, however, are full of messages where it's clear people are sharing information for how to bring implements to cause harm.

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.
