It’s always interesting that there is a right to bear arms but not here or there. Maybe the only place to bear arms is in the closet.
Based on pics it looks like a rifle that’s not legal in DC due to it having too many features, and probably the named/clone ban.
Being from Atlanta I presume the fellow did not take the 16 hour class to put in for a DC carry permit, which doesn’t let you open carry or carry on the mall.
That’s a felony for the firearm, carrying it, one for each bullet, and each magazine over 10 rounds.
Same reason you can yell fire in the middle of a field but not in a movie theater.
Semantics. You’re allowed to yell fire if there is a fire, for example.

Schenck v. United States in 1919, which held that the defendant’s speech in opposition to the draft during World War I was not protected free speech under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. The case was later partially overturned by Brandenburg v. Ohio in 1969, which limited the scope of banned speech to that which would be directed to and likely to incite imminent lawless action (e.g. a riot).
The Court held that the government cannot punish inflammatory speech unless that speech is “directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action”.
