So how do you get to this new norm from the old one? Wait for the legislature to tell you it is OK? It's already legal. No, somebody with enough guts CARRIES THE RIFLE. Good on that guy, and shame on those who dump on him.
If one person carries an AK-47, legally or not, to a political rally (and he is not the keynote speaker or a highly recognized public figure), he is perceived to be insane/idiotic/unsafe. If 5 men carry them to a political rally, they are perceived to be suspicious/dangerous/unsafe. If 1,000 people, men and women, carry, it is likely to be perceived as a (safe) political statement, or even a political movement.
Movements start small. It was one guy at this rally. Maybe it will be ten at the next, a hundred at the one after that, and finally a thousand or more gun owners exercising our civil rights in the light of day.
