Meanwhile, outside the rally, a protester carrying an assault-style rifle and wearing military-style clothing said he was there to “stand up for his rights, because if you don’t use them you lose them.” The man wouldn’t give his name. He grew up around guns, he said, and doesn’t see this protest as part of a movement, since gun rights are already enshrined in the Constitution. He drove about 10 hours from Tennessee. “They’re not as treasonous in Tennessee,” said a man next to him, who wouldn’t give his name either.
