I don’t understand why anybody can defend him being there with a gun to shoot anyway? I guess that’s US law… just so backwards.
Like many, he was there to protect the community from mindless looting and rioting. If you know there was whole lot of people and even "groups" trying to Secure busineses etc...at this point I say it's crazy how poorly law enforcement was deployed. Tools down...and we all know why.
 
He crossed state lines with a weapon that was illegal for him to own at his age

18 USC 926A doesn't make that a crime. That provision supersedes state laws that would get in the way of transporting the weapon lawfully. It looks like he's good under the NFA as well. The fairly arbitrary 16 inch barrel length standard that the NFA standardized is also why the judge tossed the Wisconsin weapons charge - he could legally possess that gun at 17 in Wisconsin.

That's insane, but that's the law for you.
 
So can someone turn up at an abortion clinic with an AR15, provoke a few of the protestors, get into an altercation, shoot a few of them then claim self defence?

How about heading to an anti vax protest? The womens march? A Q-Anon rally?

This gives people the right to turn up at a large gathering/protest, incite violence then kill in the name of self defence
 
You can just imagine the Proud Boys, Nazi's etc bursting with excitement now waiting for the next black man to be killed so they can turn up to the protest and have a little hunting session.
