#1 A picture is worth a thousand words and the commies seem to be a bit out of shape and not fully armed. Assault rifles are intimidating to the novice but these people were present as counter demonstrators, a wide open, close quarter environment. If they were trying to immolate right wing armed protestors they failed. Did not see any handguns on the lefties, which right wing protesters appear sometimes with assault rifles AND with hand gun combinations.

In close quarter, face to face confrontations, an opponent can grab the barrel of an assault rifle and counter with a lethal shot with a pistol.

Motion is a close quarter tactic. Seems a little un-orthodox to approach an aggressor armed with an assault rifle but you are the one initiating movement momentum to dodge a shot from your stationary opponent and you are also moving closer to get a more accurate kill shot.

The one with the first shot on target usually is the one who lives. When you are in motion you minimize your self as a target because you can react quicker when in motion. TALK. And your speech causes your opponent to temporarily focus on you, not your weapon, you are creating a verbal distraction for at least a split second.

1) Quick first shot on target method.

2) Using motion to your advantage. Sometimes Hollywood gets the finer details right...

#2 There's only so much a manufacturer can do to stop declines in a potentially deflationary environment.

Higher import taxes will also advantage domestic suppliers.
