Isn't blocking legislative business a crime in the US?

Carrying weapons, even...

I guess this is what happens when the federal government isn't a protection against armed fascist groups, but a cheerleader for them.

Combined with a society that distrusts government at the best of times.

So huh, the legislature is afraid of a terror group? Why is the police not intervening? How is this not a failed state?

All important questions. :) For which we have no answers.

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

The nightmare scenario of Trump losing the re-election but refusing to concede and encourage his to armed resistance is becoming more plausible by the day.  Look up Boogaloo boys and you'll know what I mean.  The only solace is knowing that these militia psychos are mostly too fat and too old to do more than engage in military cosplay.  But a diabetic 40 year old can still build a bomb and blow up something.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

What terror group are you referring to?

Trouble is they haven't broken any law.  They just showed up with their semi-automatic weapons, just as the law allows.

It's nuts that it's legal, but that hardly makes them terrorists.

At the very least it makes them terrorizers.

3 percenters have bombed a mosque in Minnesota and attempted to blow a federal building in Oklahoma city (stick to what you know I suppose).

If they terrify Zoups, he's easily terrified.

Yeah.  The law is nuts to give them the power to intimidate, but intimidation isn't terrorism, except to the pathologically easy to terrorize.
