Yes. I think he wanted to shoot people.

The bottom line is that if he doesn't transport a firearm into another State to provide "assistance" to law enforcement during a protest, none of this happens. He behaved recklessly and dangerously and deserves the punishment that will hopefully come from it.0

Because that’s what “responsible” gun owners do with their guns, scare and intimidate people. Seems reasonable. And why not?tempo_n_groove said:

Did you purposefully enter into confrontational situations just to test that your intentions were pure? As a former gun owner and hunter, I would never take a gun into hostile territory looking to provoke others and expect that I should be free from harm in such a situation.tempo_n_groove said:

Scare people in what way, that he might use deadly force against them. Seems reasonable, go to a town that isnt in your state with a firearm to scare people that are protesting against something you don't agree with. Sure I'm sure the thought of actually using the gun never in 1000 years crossed his mind. Cmon Man!tempo_n_groove said:

It's a shitty catch 22. It doesn't have a right answer that will appease everyone.0 -
I don't see that the police weren't allowed to do their jobs, more or less that they were overwhelmed. The lengths that would have to be gone to to get crowds that large into shape would be very authoritarian.tempo_n_groove said:
