    Looks that way, but I don't think a lot of States will buy into it now.

    As much as I think that protest was stupid as fuck, protesting with guns isn’t cowardice in my opinion. The entire purpose of the second amendment is not to brand hunting weapons. It’s to protect ourselves from tyranny.

    I'm behind this. Protest, fine. But not with guns for intimidation when protesting something that doesn't already have a violent foundation. Its not like they are protesting the brutal treatment of minorities or something.....

    Fucking morons ruining it for those who own guns for the right reasons.

    I 100% disagree with this. It puts them in a no win situation from the get go. The focus is now on the guns and not their purpose of opposing the lockdown.

    Nothing good can come from starting a protest with guns when there isn't already civil unrest. It will only perpetuate civil unrest.

    I get why they are protesting. But how they are protesting is not the optimal way to get their agenda answered.

    We can agree to disagree then. I fully support this group protesting as well.

    There is absolutely no reason for the show of weapons other than attempting intimidation.

    The guy could very well be racist, and he is an asshole for this, but more so than that he is doing this to make a statement and to point out the hypocrisy of what is suitable to cover your face to protect yourself against the virus. Just like the lady who wears masks that have penis's on them. They both are mocking the practice of it, and they both are offensive in their own ways(the Klan hood is unacceptable.) They are challenging the notion of when does something that is usually offensive not when you health and welfare is threatened.

    Absolutely. I also support this group protesting. Just not with guns.

    Don't get me wrong. I understand their opinion on the position. I just am a believer that violence begats violence and if w want it curbed, we need to go the MLK route, not the MalcomX route.

    I do not believe that violence has ever brought peace to the people of a governed society in history.

    That only works if (a) the government is actually tyrannical, and (b) if you are willing to actually use the weapons against said government.

    We know that neither of those things is true.

    Yeah, but if this group is the group that showed up at the state house in Michigan, they'd have been mowed down. Big diff.
