I never met Matt and would not be so presumptuous to speak for him. MY thoughts are that the 2A rally was legal, but it was Russian Roulette in a way. The revolver went click and governor Blackface did not pull a sneaky trick to have an excuse to arrest patriots or to use the force of government against them. But, you can be sure that Blacckface had video and photos taken and that was certainly run against facial recognition software. So all that showed up are on a list now and will be rounded up if it looks like things are starting to go hot. Or they are targets to be set up like those in Michigan who probably let an undercover agent get them to talk trash about what they would like to do to the governor. They are now canaries in the coal mine.
I am sure Blackface is pissed and he is the one who gets to decide how many rounds are in the revolver the 2A protesters are playing roulette with. It could be five rounds now.
The 2A protesters were well-intentioned, but Blackface and his fellow leftists are not normal people and they can't be reasoned with. The DC protest is done to attempt to convince Republicans in the House, Senate and Supreme Court to grow a spine. Will that work? Probably not, but it has a greater chance than changing the mind of Blackface.
