They had the right to carry to the last protest. But no offense, What does carry weapons for a Reopen business protest accomplish?
It is about the optics. If you want to walk around carry weapons at a protest that has nothing to do with gun control go for it, it is their lawful prerogative. Just don’t expect me to understand what is being protested and end goal of the protest. They have completely lost their message.. mission failed, no accomplishment.
If the protest is about gun control that is another story.
It reminds the government where final veto power truly resides, and that they operate with our permission, not the other way around.
