The WaPost comment section is mostly full of trolls, but one lucid poster mentioned that Kokesh might be challenging the DC government and Park Police over the law that allows loaded firearms in national parks.

Possibly. There's even been some suggestion that he didn't have (let alone load) the shotgun in Freedom Plaza, but used cheap blue-screen video-editing software to make it appear that he did.

But even so, him having a stash of 'shrooms changes things a bit. Really dumb idea for someone who is poking a bear with a sharp stick. His roommate apparently said that they were expecting to get raided.
