Nancy Pelosi is certainly scared of people in Brooks Bros clothing. Look it up!

Antifa seem to be standing with the protesters in this one.
We shall see about that.
Doesn't help that an NBC journalist called this rally a "white nationalist" rally in a tweet, that he has since deleted.
Nice way to stir up trouble before the event.
SEE!
If you want to protest that they are denying your rights, according to these meat-twinkies, you're a Nazi!
But,
If there are genuine concerns about this rally...that just might include a gun carrying rationale that just might include such a scenario, should it be ignored?...and not this wait and see attitude, rather than nip it in the bud?
It does seem that Feds have arrested several people, mostly youngish, a few days ago, maybe more now since it's obvious that they are listening to chatter.
The only question is then..have they got it right, or just upped the ante, only then can you say, we shall see. It's sad.
Society does not function when we ping pong off one extreme to another ! That is one question answered ! It affects me , because Im a 2A advocate who believes that the AR 15 and the love affair with it is going to be bad news for the 75% of the NRA that are not para military nuts ! I answered all your questions in my lengthy post ! Re read it again and apply each of your questions to it !

So you cannot answer any of my questions. Got it.
Your comparing apples to oranges ! There is nothing an armed society could do against a tyrannical military/government! An AR 15 is a horrible home defence option !

If the lunatics in fatigues and dont tread on me shirts would vote they would not have to run around with their AR 15s in public scarring
Might just be what stands between you and a tyrannical totalitarian takeover of the country. And it’s “ scaring” not “scarring”.
Just take off the “ fatigues” and replace with tri- cornered hats and you might get the picture of how our Constitution came about, and you can thank my Patriot ancestor as well. You’re welcome.
They still do re-enactments in some places, if you didn’t get your Revolutionary history in the schoolbooks. I also recommend seeing the movie, “The Patriot”.

The VC had supply chains ! Who is going to supply the militia’s when your fantasy last stand battle happens ! 10,000 rds of 5.56 dont last very long ! If the American people decided to rise up and shoot all the people they dont agree with , what would NATO and the UN do ? If the rebellion included the military do you think NATO countries would sit by and watch America become a militant State ? Your wasting time and energy ! If you want to change the world go to school , become as educated as your faculties allow, run for office and be honest ! Does your family know that your idea is to hide in the woods or your basement with a gun and some freeze dried food as a defense if the government changes rules on high compacity weapons ? Virginians voted for people who would limit weapons in their state ! So your idea is to trample the rights of voters with different ideas by means of violence with guns ? Let the Supreme Court decide if Virginia has broken the constitutional laws on the 2A ! Your AR 15 is an extension of your identity crisis that is no different than a feminist with red hair and progressive stickers on her Prius ! You guys are just boys who want to play Army and if real armed men showed up for your AR 15 and hi cap mags you would all pee yourselves and comply ! Its called reality and like it or not all the fatiqued up AR 15 toting goofs at these rallies just adds to the reason pile for assault weapon bands ! Im not your enemy! Im a 2A person who stays out of the lunatic fringe ! I own a Winchester pre 64 bolt action on a 7mm Rem Mag Krieger bull barrel and a US optics scope on it ! I have a Glock single stack 43x in 9mm and a Beretta o/u 12 gauge ! None of those guns are on ban lists ! Im sick and tired of the tacti-cool AR 15 gangs ruining the NRA and 80-90% of gun owning Anericans with this last stand garbage over 30 rd magazines !!!!

The vietnamese (farmers) repelled the US with AKs and they were being attacked from the air and ground.
The Japense refused to invade us because they knew we have aiming competitions and it would've been impossible to invade a country when every grandma and grandpa is hiding behind trees with guns.
Fact of the matter is even the spooks behind false flags aren't dumb enough to risk it when hundreds are armed at protest. Troubling information would break about the identities of the shooters, and they wouldn't be able to pawn it off on some lone nut because instead of panic and the crowd not knowing what's going on trained armed protesters fighting back would be entirely too aware of their surroundings.
Judging by recent history the only thing that probably stopped a false flag was the guns. They usually go for school children.

You know what I loved most about this rally? Yes, there wasn't a major violent attack. Yes, mostly everyone was civil. Yes, people called out instigators.
But the coolest little bit of the whole thing is that everyone did their part in making sure that they didn't leave the streets littered with trash.

You know I spent more time than I cared for tapping out a lengthy response to you, but I'm just going to say this.
Your appeals to emotion aren't going to get you anywhere. Instead of getting all worked up over an event that may or may not happen with your speculations; take a chill pill. Go for a walk. Spend time with your friends and family.
