As I understand it, the black Panthers were so successful, laws were passed to stop them; why don't people LEGALLY walk in groups open carrying to keep ICE polite?

In states that allow open carry without a permit, do so; in ones that require a permit or license, get one; of course again, keep everything within the bounds of the law.

Edit: also travel in groups, the larger the better

More mass shootings. If a CCWer or cop sees someone with a semi auto rifle walking around, they'll probably assume they're a mass shooter and try to stop them. Similarly, anyone walking around with a semi auto rifle is going to scare everyone away from them, and gain no goodwill whatsoever.

Almost this exact scenario happened at one of the lib No Kings protest in Utah earlier this year. A protester was opening carrying a rifle, “official” protest “peacekeepers” assumed he was a chud about to commit mass murder, shot at him, missed, and killed an innocent bystander
