EXCERPTS:
Texas resident William Lawson drove more than four hours to attend the rally with his family. Once there, they held a sign reading “Modern Musket” over the image of an assault rifle and the words, “An American Tradition since 1776.”
“I’m not some wild-eyed person who wants to fight in the streets,” Lawson said. “This is a country of laws. But I want to protect our Constitution.”
Authorities reported no problems at early rallies, which remained peaceful Saturday afternoon.
Here are some images from rallies across the country:
