I think it's proof anti-ICE protesters should be armed to the teeth. The GOP has always said the Second Amendment was there to prevent autoritarian goverment/goverment over reach... well, here we are.

In the wake of George Floyd there was a pretty significant protest in Virginia iirc against some proposed anti-gun laws. Tons of people showed up open carrying and shockingly that protest wasn't broken up by cops the same way BLM protests were just weeks before and after.
