Tens of thousands of armed citizens came to protest in VA, said what they had to say, and harmed nobody at all. Then they left. But not before cleaning up after themselves. Talk about pissing the ones trying to sell the progtard narrative off. I did laugh.

    Presentable, eh? So they had to follow some kind of dress code? Smartly turned out, like carrying the right weapons?

    The Supreme Court agrees with me. The standing decision that protects an individual right to lawfully bear arms specifically states that rules controlling who gets what weapons are legit because they're analogous to a militia.

    DC vs. Heller [documentcloud.org]

    United States v. Miller, 307 U. S. 174, does not
    limit the right to keep and bear arms to militia purposes, but rather
    limits the type of weapon to which the right applies to those used by
    the militia, i.e., those in common use for lawful purposes.

    You reckon after the fact court decisions change what the founders flat out said they meant? Interesting.
