A highly-suspect image appeared promoting an "armed march" on the capital. This image appears very poorly done and not by someone of the individual human rights persuasion (more like the communist persuasion). https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/13704575/trump-supporters-planned-protest-washington-armed/
But...it did get me thinking, so I wrote the following and posed this idea:

Should Americans peacefully rally exercising the 2nd Amendment in Washington, D.C. on January 17, 2021?
For decades the 2nd Amendment has been under constant, relentless attack in States and also primarily at the federal level. This is despite the fact that the US Constitution delegates no power to congress to manage firearms in the States and despite the fact that the 2nd Amendment actually prohibits congress and even the states from doing so.
“Right to carry” laws have swept the nation, after much hard work by hundreds of groups and millions of Americans. First it was “shall issue” right-to-carry, but now “Constitution carry” laws are sweeping the nation. Yet politicians in Washington, D.C. still talk about federal gun control and act as if they have authority to pass laws despite the 2nd and 10th Amendments which are clear in black-and-white.
The Supreme Court has also ruled in the Heller and McDonald cases that individual Americans have the right to keep and bear arms. But Americans have already known this. That is why they belong to the NRA, Gun Owners of America, National Association for Gun Rights, 2nd Amendment Foundation, and endless other organizations and groups.
“Open carry” events has become a popular way to exercise one’s right to carry in order to preserve it, by raising awareness of the human right to own and carry weapons for personal and community/national defense. Open carry events have always been peaceful. ICarry.org used to organize and participate in open carry events that also benefit a charitable cause. They were positive, fun, family-friendly events of fellowship and community benefit, such as food drives for the needy and litter pickups.
Recent renewed calls from politicians in Washington, D.C. – a city which stands in violation of the 2nd Amendment by unconstitutionally infringing upon the right to bear arms – to enact new unconstitutional infringements on the ownership of guns has spurred renewed resolve to end the attacks on the 2nd Amendment.
Should Americans peacefully and solemnly gather in the country’s capital on January 17, 2021 safely and openly exercising their right to bear arms? Do Americans keep fighting the never-ending attempts by certain politicians to incrementally disregard and defeat the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution? With domestic and foreign threats present now as much as ever, the 2nd Amendment is as relevant as ever.
Should Americans from across the country who believe in freedom, limited government, and the individual protections of the Constitution gather together safely carrying holstered and slung or otherwise secured firearms? Could the exercise of the right preserve and restore the right? Could this save our children from the danger of further violations of these rights?
On January 17, 2021 Americans could certainly do this. In keeping with the tradition of proactively helping a charitable cause, Americans could also on this day donate en masse to children’s cancer research in the name of freedom, personal responsibility, and the right to keep and bear arms. An armed society is a safe and polite society, and all open carry events like this have been peaceful and safe, free from damage to property or injury to life.
