Armed Protesters Rally At Washington State Capitol

A group of protesters brandished their guns at the Washington State Capitol on Saturday to defend their right to bear arms.

Though the armed protesters shocked some onlookers, the demonstration was legal. Washington’s “Open Carry” law does not prohibit carrying firearms on the capitol grounds.

“Usually, we’re up here debating issues. To see people walking through with guns is a bit odd,” lobbyist Jim Richards told local media.

About 200 people, including one person carrying an upside-down American flag, participated in the “Firearm Freedom Rally,” according to KING 5 News. The event was organized by the group 2nd Enforcers, which warned many of the 30 gun-related bills to be considered by the state legislature were a threat to people’s Second Amendment rights.
