Owning guns isn't a crime, I support owning guns, I own guns however it is beyond me why these guys want to dress up in full military tactical gear and carry around AR15s just to "prove a point" when in fact all they're really trying to do is dare a negative reaction. Half of these guys would have never made it through week 1 before being sent to fat farm but now they wanna roll around like badasses because they got tactical training from call of duty. So dumb and so pointless

It's the R's equivalent of Kap taking the knee. Gotta respect both imo.

Re Michigan Capital Building. (Bold by me):
The Michigan State Capitol is one of the most historic buildings in the entire state, in addition to holding some of the most important political figures in the state as well. Anyone can walk right in without being questioned, just as it is meant to be.

The sign just outside the State Capitol reads “Welcome” for anyone who wishes to enter. Tours are available, and anyone is welcome to take a self-guided tour as well. You have access to almost everywhere in the building. But just how safe is it?

First Lt. Brody Boucher, commander of the Capitol Security Section, says that although security isn’t always visible, those who work within the Capitol are always being guarded.

“It’s the people’s house,” says Boucher. “We encourage all citizens to come and enjoy their freedoms. We definitely have security officers all around the Capitol, but we want to make sure that people feel safe and free to do what they wish.”

Well, I think you can argue, again like Kap, their strategies have been effective.

They have gained attention but what has changed? Is Michigan going to open up tomorrow because some wanna be GI Joe showed up on the Capitol grounds? No, what did Kap accomplish? Nothing, he's unemployed and unhireable, the NFL has moved on from protesting and no one cares anymore.

It's better than the numbnuts blocking traffic, imo.

This is true and look I am 100% for the 2nd Amendment, I believe this is a right that shouldn't be infringed upon however this is a really dumb stance. What does it say, if you dont open up I'm going to bring 2 guns tomorrow.

Bring your whole arsenal if necessary.

There are business owners who dont qualify for unemployment and federal aid hurting. They need to work to put food on the table.

The protests will ramp up until concessions are made.

I see what you're saying, but you may not be giving enough credit to both sides in this analogy. Kap has raised awareness and funds, plus these protestors' actions are causing a stir. In any case, I think we agree that mutual respect is necessary.

I get that, I live in a state where we are locked down indefinitely until further notice but if you want to be heard then you need numbers and not dumbasses, if there going to be there then hide them because it really takes attention way from the actual point of the protest.

I can see that. Let's keep in mind, Zep's link said 100s protest, some carrying weapons. Could have only been a few. But the media focused attention on those.
This issue is beyond the distraction of some folks carrying guns where they are legally allowed to by Michigan law. Oddly, theyre not allowed to carry signs inside the building.
