Isn't it possible that the purpose of carrying a rifle is to remind people that they have a right to carry a rifle?

But why would somebody need to remind people they have the right to carry a rifle AT a rally/presentation/ol' fashioned brouhaha that has nothing to do with guns, the 2nd amendment or encroachment of
anyconstitutional rights?
Folks, I'm here at the health care town-hall meeting to remind you that as a citizen, you too can carry a rifle, as you can clearly see on my back, so that you may, as is your constitutional right which as before, I am reminding you, blast the fuck out of a tuna in a river from the safety of the shoreline.
Thank you. I now plan to attend my son's baseball game where I will drink heavily to remind people it is your constitutional right to get shitfaced on liquor. After that, I'm going to go throw-up on Al Franken, in a weird, shameful reminder that Senators are directly elected to the Senate, rather than appointed in court-minded recounts.
I'll leave it up to history to decide what kind of hero I am...

Also, you are not too familiar with Arizona, are you? The sight of anyone anywhere in Arizona carrying a rifle is not going to intimidate the natives. It might bother you but it won't bother them.
I watch Medium. No rifles.
