They certainly did......
They being the Media releasing the Selectively edited video when they are trying spin their narrative, only for subsequent video to be released that shows the initial claimed story to be incorrect.
On the first part - I've been to a Rifle Range, I'm sure that on the balance of probability (given that I'm both opinionated and strident in my views) that a good number of them hold different views to me, I never once felt threatened. And also - they aren't Assault Rifles (pet peeve)
But let me take your point seriously - I agree, Guns should not be at Protests. The Michigan protest however was over the right to bear arms, and so exercising that right as part of the Protest is appropriate to a degree.
Edit - In the same way that a Protest about Gay Rights has ostentatious displays of 'Gayness' (couldn't find a better word), or that Environmental Protests might bring along rubbish collected from the Beaches or similar
Things get murky with the 2nd Amendment and the right to self-defence, but on the balance of things and to re-state I agree that Guns shouldn't be at Protests.
I happen to know why, and it's got nothing to do with Trump. I could tell you, but you are unlikely to accept the answer, even if I provide the direct quotes, the historical backing etc.

2nd amendment isn't set in stone, people are denied the right to carry guns all the time
Regardless of how he got the weapon, it was fucking stupid of him to be there with it, chances are he'll get off with it as it was only a couple of black guys he killed and I think it's open season on them
Sure, however the issue here is that this scenario is exactly what the 2A was written for.
And as the foundational legal document for the USA, it takes precedent over any State law.
So, if an Angry mob was about to burn down your home and your business, you'd just stand by and let them?
No?
Then it wasn't stupid of him to be there.
Finally, can you point out the Black Men? Cause they look as pasty white as I am...

A longish read but interesting. Another banana republic play by the AG, Barr.
Barrnana republic?
