Exercising 1st and 2nd Amendment Rights

Will the NRA defend this man for using his weapon? Or is being anti-Trump crossing their line?

This is an early news report so we don't know if the weapon was legal and how dark his skin color was. Since the 5 police officers didn't use lethal force, he probably was white.

As for using a weapon as part of his protest, remember candidate Trump told his followers at campaign rallies to beat up his opponents. So Trump espouses physical violence as a valid means of expression.

1. he was wielding a weapon in a private area, you have no second amendment right to do so

2. yeah you can scream anti trump stuff all you want, but from what I hear, this guy was pretty far right, and just got disillusioned by trump not being right enough

As far as I know the NRA doesn't defend anyone using a gun to damage property or challenge the police.
