I find it interesting that someone peacefully exercising their lawful Constitutionally-protected right was orchestrated as a publicity stunt. I am also amazed at all the angst it has caused.

I would say that their plan was a success. They certainly got publicity.

However, the MSM seemed to not be able to see any firearms carried by a number of Black Panthers who gathered in a protest in 2000 against Bush:
