2020-04-27 | Why are people bringing guns to anti-quarantine protests? To be intimidating. - The Washington Post
'Those carrying guns to political events would be quick to deny any such effort to intimidate, emphasizing that they are simply exercising their rights. '
'A person carrying a gun to go hunting or target shooting is transporting the weapon to use for its lawful and intended purpose. '
'More common still were restrictions on mere gun-carrying. '
'But what gun carriers refuse to admit is that they carry guns to these events because they are intimidating, whether they care to admit it or not. '
'Whether armed protesters admit it or not, gun-carrying to a political rally serves a different, disturbing and unnecessary purpose: intimidation. '
