Such as?  Nines?  AKs?  Claymores?

Between you and the police, perhaps.

Not unless she can shoot worth a damn, which most can't.  The cops,
however, are excellent shots.

Ye reads too much Chaucer.

F4J doesn't threaten people.  They climb buildings dressed in costumes.
If someone climbs the courthouse near some armed grrrls house, will
she pull her 0.50-cal sniper rifle and drop him from her roof?  Hardly.

No F4J protester who stays true to the principles of the organization
will ever pose a threat to a woman's life, so any hothead who draws her
Granny Smith revolver will be the only one firing, and the only one
serving time.  YE takes yer chances, woman.

F4J doesn't have to create mayhem.  Others create mayhem in response to
F4J, which is the beauty of their organization.  All Spiderman did was
climb a frigging crane, and all London went berzerk.  I'll admit that
the flour bomb hurled at Tony Blair could be considered mayhem, but
certainly nothing compared to the uproar that followed.
