Why aren’t armed protestors arrested?

Editor,

I have an open question.

Why is it okay for a large number of mostly white men and a few white women to show up on the state capital steps heavily armed and not be instantly arrested or shot?

If the exact same number of anyone but white folks showed up heavily armed the National Guard would very likely be called out along with SWAT and serious riot control.

There would be demonstrators killed.

No matter if you are for gun rights or against gun rights, this situation is just flat wrong.
