  1. I find that funny, that you find the 2nd amendment interpretation wrong, when this has been settled by the Supreme Court, many times, by those with more education on the subject than you, and it also seems that you have never read factual US history, about why the term, militia, does not mean the army, but does define the citizens of the United States; every legal citizen. Both had the right to carry those guns, period. However, BAIR might be in trouble for breaking the bigotry and hate crime laws of the US, and they might be arrested and tried over it, if their identities are verified. They wore those masks for a reason, as they knew they were openly breaking this law. "Defined in the 1999 National Crime Victim Survey, "A hate crime is a criminal offense. In the United States, federal prosecution is possible for hate crimes committed on the basis of a person's race, religion, or nation origin when engaging in a federally protected activity." In 2009, the Matthew Shepard Act added actual or perceived gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, and disability to the federal definition, >>and dropped the prerequisite that the victim be engaging in a federally protected activity.<< Forty-five states and the District of Columbia have statutes criminalizing various types of hate crimes. Thirty-one states and the District of Columbia have statutes creating a civil cause of action in addition to the criminal penalty for similar acts. Twenty-seven states and the District of Columbia have statutes requiring the state to collect hate crime statistics".
