It depends. In this case yes.
I support 2nd amendment rights just as much as you do, but I'm also honest enough to call a spade a spade. This was a completely assholish stunt. Wipe the bias from your eyes and maybe you'll let a little truth shine through.
The crux of the gun control debate for those hard core grabbers is that regular citizens cannot be trusted to posses firearms in public, or even in private. They keep claiming that there is a risk to non government agents being armed, and that things like this only result in gun fights and death and violence all over the place.
Doing this shows the hyperbole of the controller position. I wish more people would do this. There was not a single threatening move made by these people towards the group having the meeting, unless a person is so scared of guns that the mere presence of one puts them into fits, but in that case shoulnt the police also scare these people?
I get it. You support their cause so you give their assholery a pass.
That doesn't make you special, it makes you like most people.
But whatcha gonna do?
If they would have done anything even remotely intimidating, they would be assholes, but showing up with thier firearms legally and lawfully, not entering the business in question, and posing for a picture is not being assholes.
