A Colorado man arrested after federal agents allegedly discovered pipe bombs in his home had also been helping organize an armed protest demanding the state lift its coronavirus restrictions, an official briefed on the case tells ABC News.

It is not clear what, if anything, Bunn planned to do with the pipe bombs, the official said.

Bunn came to the attention of law enforcement after using social media to encourage people to bring assault rifles to a planned May 1 rally at the Colorado capitol building, ABC News has learned.

In the days leading up to the protest, investigators discovered social media posts described as angry and aggressive, the official said. Soon after, investigators received information that he was in possession of pipe bombs. Bunn was arrested before he could attend Friday’s rally.

fits trump perfectly.

We're doing pretty good out here in the middle of nowhere.. staying at home until the end of May now. We've had no deaths here, so far, and no new cases in about 3 weeks and are trying to keep it that way. Everybody is required to wear a mask everywhere unless you're going out exercising with no one around.

How are doing now, catbyte

Back when Republicans controlled the state they tried to preempt cities from banning open carry but the state Supreme Court said that the home rule clauses in the state constitution allowed Denver to ban it.
