This is probably the first time I really have to ask what usually strikes me as a lame question: can you imagine what would have happened if anyone pulled this shit around our previous president?
I don't see this as a 2nd Amendment thing at all. It's the way they chose to display intimidation, in a form and location I can't quite recall seeing before, and that worries me.
They could also shown up at the town hall with T-Shirts and signs that said "YOU TRY ANYTHING AND I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU", and I'd feel the same way about it.
I see zero threat of violence. It's not the people open carrying that you have to worry about. It's the people illegally carrying concealed weapons that are the ones to worry about.
