There is an old precedent that caring an arm is a right, can not be held against one. On the other hand, brandishing a weapon in such a way to make a threat seems to go over the line. Not sure I have it quite right.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
