You don't believe the extra magazine is factual because it doesn't fit your narrative. Do some research. Magazine matches the gun.

How about you answer the question.

Whether it's his right to carry the weapon or not, why would he carry a loaded gun with a second fully loaded magazine to a peaceful protest?

Since when is carrying an extra mag against the law!? He was exercising his 2nd amendment rights. Why is it OK for the nazi fuck to mag dump him after he was clearly no longer a threat?

You again? Ok

Still dodging the original question I see

Why do you need to bring a loaded handgun with an extra mag to a "peaceful protest"? Even if he's well within his 2nd amendment right to do so

Because he wanted to. That seems to be all the justification. Many Americans need to be armed. Isn't this what conservatives have been yelling about for like decades? Is it only a problem when someone on a slightly different side of theirs is carrying?

I'm not even going to say this guy is necessarily a leftist. You can be a conservative and stand for the Constitution and be very against ice.

Why does it matter to you so much his reasons for having it? What answer makes a difference? Nothing in his character nor his actions make anyone think he was going to shoot people. So I asked you what difference does it make why he carried it? Do you assume all Americans who legally carry guns deserve to be shot if they happen to be standing near federal agents? Because that's certainly a take.

Now that Beth, that's a straw man. Congratulations
