I think that's the point of this thread, some states want to restrict that kind of behavior.

If fascist white supremacists want to train in the woods on how to overthrow the government, you better believe the government is going to try to stop it. Does that even need to be said?

used by Southerners to justify the arrests of SNCC operatives and Freedom Riders in the 1960's.

Don't forget Ronald Reagan's gun restrictions in California in response to the Black Panthers open carrying in the 60s.

There have always been restrictions on the 2nd Amendment, if gun owners aren't responsible with the right, it can be further restricted.

Again, the underlying conduct they're trying to restrict is legal. It's not illegal to call for the overthrow of the government. It's not illegal to own weapons. It's not illegal to gather on private property and participate in training drills. By your own statements, the justification for regulating this kind of conduct is simply the political viewpoints of the participants. This is clearly viewpoint discrimination, which the Supreme Court has routinely found to violate the First Amendment. I don't think this is a Second Amendment issue as much as it is a First Amendment one.
