April 19, 2010: Two pro-gun groups gather in the Washington, D.C.-area to advocate for more lenient gun laws in the U.S. One group is unarmed, and one armed.
Here, activists at the Washington Monument dress as Button Gwinnett, George Washington, and Patrick Henry. This “Second Amendment March” did not allow firearms, and a number of pro-gun groups, such as the United States Concealed Carry Association, the Oathkeepers, and the U.S. Gun Owner’s Association, attended.
