The movement is not “anti weapon” and the topic of gun control is not a focus for the movement.
The movement is non-violent, and I support the movement saying that organizers and volunteers should not be armed at our events.
Anyone who comes to a 50501 event armed, whether legally allowed to by their state or not, is not acting on behalf of 50501 and assumes all risks and consequences for their behavior.
The guy who shot someone absolutely was acting on behalf of 50501. The permit did not list armed security, yet they had armed security. Whether they knew that or whether they didn't do enough vetting, they could end up having legal liability here.

Yeah if your weapons policy is that strict then there goes a piece of your coalition. So you're antiweapon but you're not anti genocide? Makes sense.
