  If you look back in US history, strikes and such were frequently supported by arms. One of the more famous was the 'Pinkerton Rebellion' [1]. It's interesting to consider the interweaving between class, guns, labor rights, and social order in general. It's certainly much more more nuanced than most people give thought to now a days.
