A Protest March from Arlington with Hundreds of Loaded Guns

That's the plan. What do you think?

So far, plans remain for a 1,000-person -- or more -- march from Virginia into DC on the Fourth of July with loaded guns.

Over the weekend, we asked people in our 31 Virginia and DC Patches just what they thought of plans for the march, which DC police say they will block with guns of their own.

Not surprisingly, more than 300 people commented on the story.

"It's the second Amendment," one commenter posted. "There is no beating around the bush. It is a American Right that can not be infringed upon."

"No they shouldn't," countered another. "The Supreme Court has already ruled that states and localities can impose certain limits on gun ownership. This is about the rule of law."

Arlington is at the center of the issue, as the protesters plan to begin their march at Arlington National Cemetery.
