I just wish the same courtesy and consideration was given to the people protesting the gun control laws in VA or showing up to protest, lawfully, at the state capital in MI. For some reason those two groups were tarred as radical extremists and worse. Both groups were at the state capital, not in front of someone's private residence.
I am really most familiar with the VA protests. There were threats of violence that had occurred that caused the emergency declaration and the rule put in place that firearms could not be carried onto capitol grounds. I know there is a lot of doubt from some of the pro-2A folks about that, but there were legitimate concerns. Now, there was quite the mix going on in that crowd. Alex Jones in a vehicle with Info Wars plastered all over it, plenty of boogaloo kits out and about, and some other things definitely did not help that image. But that wasn't everyone, and many people from the VCDL tried hard to convince people not to come like that. Then they showed up with a guillotine. That was such a shit show all around.
