Men armed with assault rifles walk through Portland to 'educate' public on gun rights | Fox News

Two men seen walking down a Portland street armed with assault rifles told police they were exercising their Second Amendment rights and hoping to educate the public on gun rights.
Several calls were made to 911 on Wednesday afternoon, with alarmed residents reporting two men with guns strapped to their backs walking through the area of Southeast Seventh Avenue and Spokane Street in Portland's Sellwood neighborhood.
When police arrived on the scene, they found two 22-year-old men carrying rifles openly on their backs. The two were also holding valid concealed handgun licenses in Oregon, according to Fox affiliate KPTV.
The men reportedly told officers that they were seeking to educate onlookers about their Second Amendment rights.

I don't need to be educated on my 2nd Amendment rights. I don't need to own or carry guns. My ego doesn't need that constant buffing.
To me, this is a threat. We have to let them carry their weapons...or else.

gun advocates fail to notice, the idiot walking down the street with an assault rifle looks no different than the one entering a classroom with one.

Hindsight tells people...if they had a gun then things would have been different... why not ask if the threat didn't have a gun, things would have been different?

So people are sitting in a theater with guns, how do I know you aren't some dumb$hit with a bad outlook? you look the same. What's to keep one of you from jumping up and shooting another that is armed and looks "shady"

You can tell me guns don't kill people but I'm yet to see a loaded finger do it. I contend idiots with guns kill people... now tell me how to differentiate the idiots.

I remember last summer a guy came into a children's ice cream shop openly carrying a weapon, it made everyone very uncomfortable, and this was in WV. How do I know that guy wasn't a nut.

I don't really see what the issue is. If it's legal then what's the problem?
