[QUOTE=Silence I Kill You;45855754]So people protesting gun laws by open carrying sporting rifles is good publicity? It just strengthens the movement right?
Or does it make the people doing it seem like crazy lunatics and hurt the movement?
Which one is it?[/QUOTE]
They aren't very good at spinning it or explaining it other than shouting "muh rights" as loud as feasibly possible. Their entire attempt at protesting gun laws just revolves around "well it's a (arbitrary) right, I'm gonna show it off!" There's no real explanation as to why their particular form of protest shows anything useful about the right.
People dumping fake blood on an airport floor are using it as a symbol of the blood spilt during the conflict that the airport is aiding in by moving weapons. They have some real endgame for their protest. And are being at least a bit inconveniencing rather than just obnoxious, something a proper protest usually aims to be.

[quote]However, Chirstian Delcourt, a spokesman for the airport says “there are no weapons that pass through this airport. This is an unfounded rumor, which you hear every time there is an escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,” the Belgian website dhnet.com reports.[/quote]

So you're going to ignore that open carry demonstrations were used to provide a message that firearms aren't this dangerous thing that only lunatics use? Or how about the message that not everyone who carries a firearm is some murdering psychopath?
But you never got those messages because you were too wrapped up in how childish their demonstrations looked.
By your logic, you should have seen the demonstrations as legit instead of "obnoxious".....
Got to admit that this is really going to suck for the poor guys paid to clean the place.
