No, they are expressing both their first and second amendment right. Intimidation is a crime. They have committed no crime, other than offending your delicate sensibilities. Are you sure you're "pro-gun," or are you just pro-gun for people that think like you?
Can you read? What does their banner say?
I think it translates to blah, blah, blah first amendment, blah, blah blah. But hey if you are "rights for me, not for thee" guy, embrace it. Just know not all people agree.
You are being intellectually dishonest. The banner makes very clear that they intend to make certain people afraid. The weapons are there to achieve that end.
No, you just aren't familiar with the slogan "Make Racists Afraid Again," which appears on signage regularly used by such groups. So if ok, when there aren't guns around, why isn't ok when guns are around?
Who said that it was ever ok to specifically target a group of people to make them afraid? Fear is used to silence people. That's anti-1A. I think it is you who need the Constitution refresher.
So you really are anti-1A and 2A? Good to know.
Again you are being intellectually dishonest. Specifically targeting a group of people to make them afraid is not acceptable in a free society. How about some Neo-Nazi folks with "Make Jews afraid again" banners? Do you get it now?
Speech that promotes and encourages violence and breaking the law (intimidation IS making people afraid) is not protected. They purposely make clear that they have weapons to carry out their illegal activity. And who gets to make the determination about who is racist? Why, the people in the pic with weapons do, of course.
And if it were a bunch guys in SS uniforms carrying MP40s, it would still be protected under the First Amendment. You really don't understand the Constitution do you?

Another one? Goodness.
[h=4]The Brandenburg test[/h]"Speech that promotes and encourages violence and breaking the law (intimidation IS making people afraid) is not protected."
Reiteration for clarity.
Perhaps you should dig deeper. Let me ask you a question. Is a sign that says "Make Traitors Afraid Again,"... actually lets amend this "Death to Traitors" illegal?
