Supposedly these people from the "John Brown Gun Club" were in Phoenix to "to protect protesters from white nationalists". The leftists, marxists, anarchists and other such curs are usually not in favor of guns and the 2nd Amendment. Are these people considered "peaceful" by their liberal ilk? Do they have a newfound appreciation for the 2nd Amendment? How would they react to more gun control or an "assault weapon ban" that is so popular with the leftists?

In Phoenix you do not need a permit for open or concealed carry of a gun. Meaning that outside of probably Texas, AZ has the most lax gun laws in the U.S. It is the wild fucking west out here and not a place for liberal pussies.
Or in other words...practically every adult here is armed to the teeth. Yet there is very little gun violence outside of the Mexican drug deals that go bad (or cartel retaliation).
If these bedwetters even raised those weapons toward their shoulders the Phoenix PD would put them down, no questions asked.
