I hope no one is injured or dies over such an extreme action. One can protest without the threat of using arms against the state even if one thinks that the Constitution allows for that. Open carry weapons should always be holstered securely.

If I see a group of people who are masked , wearing camo and carrying weapons that "look like" assault weapons which may or may not be loaded entering a government building, I'm going to be on guard period . I'm a gun owner and support 2A but this was overboard .

Out of curiosity were there not signs posted at the entrance stating that weapons are prohibited from the building ? If so that makes it a crime . Also we have no idea if those magazines were loaded or not do we ?

I dare my legal gun owner black, asian, Latino, Native American brothers and Sisters to try the same tactics. See if the result will be the same. If not, then you know for a fact we live in a Segregated and Racist Country.

Guns at the Capitol & Gov buildings is illegal since Black Panthers 1972! newyorker.com/culture/cultur…

The Most Important Legacy of the Black Panthers

The initial furor that the Panthers caused cannot be overstated, and a political moment friendly to their expansive ten-point program has never existed.

I find the first amendment to be far more scary than the 2nd these days.
