You should know that Ronald Reagan was the governor that signed that bill.
Republicans are very much the party of "armed protests for me but not me thee."
Show me where republicans have been trying to stop demonstrations. Show me where republicans are singling out people by race. That is not a republican strategy. That's how the modern day Bolshevik dems operate. Divide and conquer.
Can someone on the right why it's OK for white people to show up at state capitols with guns to protest, but if black people protest unconstitutional unfair treatment by the police, they're a bunch of jerks?
You can't even construct a sentence or make a cogent point. Plus, your premise is off-base. Go away.

Well, for one, it is NOT ok for these idiots to be protesting, especially carrying weapons and looking like a bunch of redneck vigilantes. These are not mainstream Americans, they are a fringe element that thinks that laws and rules do not apply to them.

The people protesting to be allowed to go back to work didn't burn down their neighborhoods, destroy buildings, loot businesses or block interstate highways.
Black Lives Matter protests often devolve into riots, with stores being looted or vandalized and police and bystanders being attacked. To my knowledge, no such thing has occurred at a "reopen" protest. That's the difference.
That’s BS and you know it.
The overwhelming majority of BLM protests have not been violent whatsoever. Your problem with BLM is the fact that they’re protesting at all because you agree with the very thing that they’re protesting against.
No way could hundreds of black protesters show up at a statehouse with visible guns. Hell no.

I don't know of anyone who was opposed a black person's right to protest. They were opposed to the protests that turned in riots, looting, destruction of property.
Not true. Not EVER true in fact.
Whites don’t believe that blacks have a right to ever protest regardless of whether or not it’s peaceful. And don’t tell me that every black protest devolves into rioting because that a load of bull.
I know and YOU know that if hundreds or thousands of blacks showed up to a state Capitol and came into the legislative building with guns, it wouldn’t be tolerated. White Americans would lose their damn minds and demand that the government put a stop to it.
This has historical precedent. When the Panthers hit the streets with arms in California, Ronald Reagan had no problems passing strong gun control measures that white Californians (when California was not a liberal bastion) definitely approved of. And the NRA was visibly complicit.
And so what if it isn't legitimate in the eyes of some?
Well,
When you over blow the accusations from some isolated incidents to trying to make it sound like the police are systematically killing innocent people en mass for no reason.....
Then your claim of legitimacy will be viewed with a rightly skeptical eye.
The NRA is basically the modern day Klan. They never were for gun rights but white identity politics
This is so wrong, it's stupid.
