Preparations outside the state Capitol are underway for an annual gun rights rally that has drawn hundreds and hundreds of supporters in recent years.
A protest last week in Wyomissing was an example of how fear — fear of Black Lives Matter protesters and Antifa, fear of an authoritarian police state, fear of neighbors who may sympathize with the “other” — has driven Americans to arm themselves.
Model proposals of the ordinance put forth by gun rights advocates aim to prevent enforcement of any federal- or state-level restriction on a person’s “constitutional right to keep and bear arms.”
