Sounds to me that the parade organizers were more concerned with the pragmatics of introducing firearms into an event that already inspires high emotion and hate than denying the 2nd amendment rights of their brethren. I assume the parade was organized with the cooperation of the city and police therefore there is no valid reason the members needed to be armed. Of course the "Pink Pistols" should be represented in the parade and they have the right to show their affiliation with firearms, but, in this situation, it's better done with a banner than a rifle.
