The protest of bringing guns is NOT the threat of violence (though Jefferson would have no problem with that). The purpose is 2d Amendment rights and a constuctionist viewpoint (that the Constitution needs to be read in the way it was originally intended, and any "interpretation" that goes past that requires Amendment to accomplish.

It's a Bill of Rights protest, though it could also be a nod to the revolutionary nature of our founding.
