Kind of like our 2A auditors, I guess.......?
Hurting the cause more than helping IMO; all geared up in masks and such.

Article in Louisville newspaper has story of PEACEFUL demonstration.

"Many made their way into the Capitol, where they complied with security as they were directed to step around metal detectors while carrying their rifles and handguns. Some then posed for photos in the Rotunda, wearing dark ski masks as they displayed their rifles across their chests near the Abraham Lincoln statue. "

“We see what’s happening in Virginia and we may say to ourselves, 'That won’t be us here in Kentucky,'” said state Rep. Savannah Maddox, a Republican. “How many years are we away from being like Virginia? It can happen just that easily, if folks just like us are not willing to stand up and do exactly what you are doing here today.”
