--and likely why the news article left "moral" out of the headline, while including it in the body. It doesn't sound like that's the real message.

Vigilante motivation--the desire to arm up and insert oneself into a riot or make a "citizens arrest"--may involve a deep moral conviction that one's actions are "right," sometimes even beyond legal. "Constitutional"! No doubt a lot of the peaceful protestors addressing what they deem police overraeach feel the same way. The Constitution provides for exercise of that right to peaceful protest. 

I'm not sure it does provide for open-carry-to-riots crap in the name of 2A "rights." Or a right to insurrection.
