    Considering the 2nd amendment has already been trampled, protesters can no longer reasonably open or concealed carry firearms. I know I wouldn’t want to be unarmed anywhere near an ICE agent but showing up with a rifle on my back would be illegal, brandishing, and I’d be instakilled before I got anywhere near a protest. Not much good to anyone.

    Thanks to the racists that shut down the black Panthers and neutered the 2nd amendment, it is exceptionally difficult to defend yourself while peacefully assembling.

    In other words, yes, the upper panel is correct, the 2nd amendment should be upheld and we should be able to bear arms in these protests. The lower panel is also correct in that it has not been upheld and we are now not able to defend ourselves as effectively against tyranny.
