And that's the beauty of Bill of Rights. You don't "need" a gun to have the right to own one.


I'm not asking about the right. I'm asking about the reason.

I'm now wearing a mask (reason) so that I don't spread the virus to you.
You have it?

Why indeed? That's point of the OP


Guns protect the citizen from a tyrannical government.

Tyrannical government? In that setting? What is the reason for the guns?

Good.

The government should never be able to prevent its legally armed citizens for entering THE PEOPLES state capitols.


The last pic in his posted article shows a wall of state police blocking the entrance to the capitol.

All these people with guns just stayed outside.

Clearly the guns were not supposed to intimidate anyone. Nobody pulled one out to tell the police they were out of line.
There were people who were armed inside the Capitol.


I'm for opening up, but theses people aren't helping that cause or the 2nd Amendment argument.

What do guns have to do with opening up the economy?

I agree - I attended an Open Texas rally last weekend ... more out of boredom and curiosity. There were a few of the "constitutional carry" guys there. They're obviously not uber sophisticated - open carrying a rifle does not help anyone's comfort or cause.

This freedom stuff is messy!

The one thing I adamantly disagree with is covering your face. If you love freedom so much that you want to carry a rifle in the statehouse, then (1) wear your gun on the outside for all the honest world to see, and (2) show your face, you pansy.

You must have been the envy of your academy class for being able to crank out a mile on demand.

They don't .

It's stupid to carry guns into any capital building .
I own guns and am all for the 2nd Amendment but agree with you on this point. it makes about as much sense as being able to wear a mask into a liquor store.............Oh wait!!!!!!


Own an AR, several rifles , and about 7 pistols .

Have a concealed permit and shoot semi regularly .

Would never carry any weapon to any state or federal building.

If you feel the need to carry a gun in your state capital then your state has bigger issues than just a Coronavirus lockdown. I am really interested in seeing how Cinco De Mayo and Mother's Day celebrations affect the numbers in the coming weeks.

People sporting guns in public and wearing masks are bandits, not patriots. Concealing your identity while sporting gun is BS. Wear it openly or stay at home.

I am sure they would agree with you. Of course, a better question would be why did the state allow things to reach such a level?

That presupposes the state is honorable and will not retaliate against citizens. How comfortable are you really with those presuppositions?

Not sure I understand your complaint. Masked people carrying do nothing to advance their cause. Neither do people burning the American flag.

They discredit their cause just like Jane Fonda & Rosie O'Donnell

I could be wrong but I don't think they were a part of the group at the State Capital.
