No comparison. None of them brought guns to a political rally.
The very worst case scenario for democracy is to bring guns to a political rally. It taints the whole democratic process. I don't expect the 2nd amendment firebrands to get that aspect though, so carry on with your armed-march fantasy.

After all the Occupy-Whomever whiners fighting police, defecating in public, and trashing whatever area they took over, a peaceful, nonviolent event will be a novelty.
Oh, but the peaceful, nonviolents ones are the "nuts", while those who raped, assaulted, broke windows and stole things aren't?
Problem is that when you have 10,000 armed strangers marching against what they perceive as a tyrannical government, the odds of pulling off a peaceful demonstration are greatly reduced. The chances of violence are exponentially increased due to the loaded guns.
why not just march with signs that display the messages you want to get out? What is the necessity for loaded weapons?
Personally, I think it's more of an "in your face" intimidation thing than it is a peaceful rally. In essence, it's a simple case of "brandishing a weapon" to make a political point. A crime in most local jurisdictions.
How valid is your political message when you have to make it at the point of a gun? This is just a terrible idea and will turn into a giant cluster F#*k if it's even allowed to get off the ground.
Stupidest idea yet by the rabid right.
Oh, and one more thing. The organizers of this Cluster better take out a couple hundred million dollar insurance policy in the event someone gets shot during this rally. You're asking 10,000 people you don't know, of dubious backgrounds, to load up their weapons and show up in DC on the 4th. Every nut and cretin with a gun will crawl out from under their rocks and show up for this party. You seriously don't think that every one of those 10,000 will be staunch, law abiding patriots do you?
i doubt this gets violent. if the cops come with their riot shields and all that crap i doubt these guys are as dumb as liberals and will try to attack the popo. to be honest this could be a great idea if they just don't load their guns
Yea, yea, yea, we are a Republic.....but........we are governed by democratic principles. Loaded weapons during a democratic process nullifies the process. It's hard to have a meaningful political discussion with give and take when one side is pissed off and armed to the teeth.

I am sure you are right, the Cons love to talk about fighting tyranny, but the moment an officer tells them what to do, they jump in line and do what they are told.
