show up in full camo gear with sidearms and assault guns... at any political event, the police should order them to drop their weapons.... and if they refuse, start shooting.

I'd be right around the redline, except in May through September.
Marginal for 7 months, not ok for 5!
And, I'm white! (Well, sort of! But, I'm definitely not pink.)

Whiny punk complaining that all of life is government overreach.
A partial list from memory on all the things one needs permission from the government to do.
1. Drive
2. Assemble
3. What schools you can send your kids to.
4. What they each the kids in school.
5. How you have to a maintain your house
6. License for guns (We just knew guns were going to come up, didn't we?)
7. To fly on a plane
There were a couple more, but it turned into white noise.
This moron flat out declared the founding fathers would not have approved of all these rules!
So, they didn't approve of rules by writing out the whole constitution?
Idiot!

Apparently this drone didn't notice that the founders were so not into treason they specifically mentioned it in the constitution.
Of course, he's never actually read it.

for example they had laws on the books that specified what you could do with human waste.

Pretty sue there were sentries and checkpoints into Valley Forge.

etc.

...it would really be a lot of zeroes!
It doesn't matter that math in base 1 would be ridiculous.
They can't do math anyway.

in the State Capitols. Probably will no show at the Inauguration as well. It's a like a group drunk rampage...it felt great in the moment, but looks criminal when alone and sober.
