It is famously against the law to own a gun, and carry it with a permit in the United States.

If these cowardly goons are afraid of American citizens exercising their second amendment rights they should find another job.
Interesting. When people who stormed the Capitol openly carried assault rifles, MAGA had no problem with it. They called them patriots and peaceful protesters.
It's not about people carrying a gun at all, it's that should you carry a gun to a protest and should you engage in resisting to law enforcement while doing that. Had this person been perfectly still, he'd be still alive. (And also, had he not had that gun, but still resisted, he'd likely would have also been alive.)

Again, I'd like to see you stay perfectly still after getting peppersprayed in the face without any reason. At no point was he threatening and attacking ICE agents. He was trying to help another woman who had just been assaulted by agents. They created the very situation that led to this tragedy.
How is it 'resisting' when you have been chemically blinded and being beaten with metal objects?
This idea of people "resisting" when they are being assaulted to death is ridiculous.
If I start beating your face in with the grip of my gun, you deserve to get shot if you "resist"?
Well, the larger sequence of events goes back to the group of people interfering with police work, including the woman whistling along with an officer. She got pushed which was where Alex entered. (Alex had already had a brief contact with the officers minutes before the fatal sequence of events.) Alex also had a gun with him. This eventually led him to being shot.
The researched why will surface likely soon. But as of now, carrying a gun to a protest isn't something that helps with looking harmless.
It's famously peaceful if you carry a gun to a protest and it famously drives no officer around you even more to their edge.
