The British government attempted to control protests against their crackdowns on smuggling, including trade with "foreign nations", as part of the Sugar Act. Protestors, also known as Patriots, brought guns to the protests, and it sometimes resulted in deadly force. Who was in the right? Then and now?
You're like every other American. You want to make a point instead of thinking.
Is this the same as protestors/insurrectionists protecting illegals in opposition to the constitution and federal laws voted on and enacted by representatives who were elected by its citizens to make and enforce the federal laws of out republican government?
If they want to commit insurrection than do it just like our forefathers. If they want to act within the laws of the law our forefathers created a govt to vote on representatives to make and enact laws at federal and state levels with a separation of powers, and they also allowed for legal protesting and discourse while still building in ways to deal with insurrection from loyalists or those in support of some other form of dictatorship/monarchy and against their creation of a republican form of govt and its laws.
Like our forefathers if you support insurrection declare an independence and own what you are doing, and be prepared to pay the ultimate price against those who actually like our constitution and support enforcement of our federal laws. Don’t commit insurrection and then play victim hiding behind the very laws and constitution you were just trying to commit sedition against. Our forefathers weren’t pussies like these leftists.

Read up on your history, slick. Protests occurred long before the DI. And "our forefathers' were notorious for not putting in the fight when it was most desperately needed. GW had to constantly berate states to supply soldiers. People didn't want to fight. They wanted to play both sides. A man went to a protest to record government actions and was killed, knowing the government is at least increasingly wanting to use deadly force. But you call him a pussy, from a keyboard. Big bad warrior you are.

Context matters…. Over and over again…. Context matters. A gun at a protest? That’s your god given right. BUT if you resist arrest when harassing law enforcement, expect things will escalate quickly and you could get un alived. I really feel like this is common sense….i don’t understand you people.

if you were going to protest what you believed to be a tyrannical government, why would you ever NOT bring a weapon? ETA: I wish the people downvoting this would provide an answer as to why they wouldn't bring a weapon
Whether one should bring a firearm to a “protest” depends on how they intend to “protest”. If “protesting” involves intentionally provoking and interfering with law enforcement, then bringing a firearm could reasonably be perceived as threatening and could increase the uncertainty in an already tense situation.
If the goal is to engage in a violent interaction and inflict damage, then bringing a firearm might make sense. Although I’d suggest bringing more than a 9mm pistol.
I’d also suggest that term “tyrannical”, as used in your hypothetical, is vague and subjective. Regarding the specific circumstances of this case: if enforcing basic immigration laws constitutes “tyranny”, then every government in the world is tyrannical. If we reject the government’s ability to enforce necessary foundational laws required to maintain societal structure, we’ll quickly devolve into anarchy… That’s not an accident, either.

Not a weapon! Basic common sense.

Did you really mean to type "protest" or is that simply the term currently in vogue for "leftist riot"?

NRA is confused as frick right now trying to figure out how their supporting members are the one's saying citizen's are in the wrong for being shot because they had a gun on them.
They expected their base to be rational and stay true to their ideology. But their want to own Libs is too strong.

Remember, most defending the death in this situation will defend Jan 6. They have no actual belief, they are just blindly defending the movement.
Almost nobody here defended the January 6 rioters. People rightly pointed out the hypocrisy of certain politicians and elitists who condemned the January 6 riots, but had spent the previous 5 years encouraging and funding BLM and race riots, which caused billions in damage, dozens of deaths, including multiple terrorist attack from black nationalists.

The whole site shut down for a day or two to purge.
A multi-thousand post thread was removed. Whole users were purged from the site.

I don’t often carry a pistol when harassing law enforcement to the point they fight me, but when I do, I carry it with one in the chamber, cocked, and the safety off.

What firearms?

or maybe none of those? You can't think of any other scenarios where you may want to defend yourself at a protest?

Yeah. No shite. It was meant that way.

The OP wasn't about an specific case. It was a general question. You all keep trying to make it about the current case though.

I seem to recall that there are some laws - at least in some states about not permitting concealed carry where there are parades,larger gatherings etc. ?

The OP asked for a valid reason NOT to bring a gun to protest a “tyrannical” government. I provided an answer, while acknowledging that term “tyrannical” is vague.
And I also applied his hypothetical to the real-world situation that prompted his question. I don’t need your permission to do so, even if you don’t like my response.
