A couple from Texas were arrested in Tewksbury, in possession of a large collection of military-style weapons and an improbable explanation.
Texas Army Vet, Arrested With Massive Weapons Cache, Claims It’s For A ‘Classified’ Mission
Texas native Francho Bradley and partner Adrianne Jennings were arrested at the Marriott Residence Inn in Tewksbury, Mass., on March 24th with a massive assortment of firearms and military-style equipment. Bradley claimed he had transported the stockpile to Massachusetts from Texas “because he needed them with him for his mission,” according to a police report obtained by The Lowell Sun.
. . .
But while the police report indicates that Bradley cooperated with law enforcement, Detective Patrick Connor came to suspect that Bradley was, in fact, planning a mass-casualty event at one of the gun control marches planned for the metro Boston area the following weekend
This report on a veterans' blog contains a lot more detail than the Lowell Sun report it links to, including images of the police report. The Sun story says that Bradley had a Texas license to carry, which this report specifically denies. One of the images shows Det. Connor's mention that March for Our Lives was happening on the day of the arrest.

Conjecture
I'm not defending this guy, he's a wack job. But the idea that he was planning to shoot up the anti-gun rally is really just one investigator's conjecture (based on what I just read.) It's not like the guy with the guns made some comment to that effect, since it seems he did not.
Separately, I found this piece of the story interesting:
Of course, but
it's a useful conjecture to rouse the rabble with.
Adam does that from time to time.

Yeah, it's me
And some veterans. And various cops.
I know it's not fair that no NRA spokesperson was quoted, but you'll have to find that elsewhere.
Oh read the comments on the linked story
They're all like, "I doan see what he done wrong."

Half the comments are scarier than the story itself.
I found it interesting,
I found it interesting, thanks for posting it.

Not can't, didn't
My apologies to Adam. He didn't do it this time.
Hey
You spelled my name wrong as well, just like the other name you spelled wrong.
They called the police on
They called the police on themselves. That whole story is weird.
What's with hotels in Tewksbury being the center of weird news?
This angle had not been
This angle had not been reported anywhere else. I have not heard on CNN or even the local news that there was intent to shoot up the March. They were not even at a hotel anywhere near Boston for that matter..
Anywhere near?
Do you know how long it takes to drive from Tewksbury to downtown? If it isn't rush hour, about 30 minutes. According to the reports, they drove into Cambridge a bunch of times before they got busted.
Responsible gun owners use
Responsible gun owners use public transportation thereby rendering Tewksbury no where near the march.
So you mean to tell me he
So you mean to tell me he planned to hail a cab with several guns (as shown in the photo) and head into town? There are multiple rifles shown.
Out-of-towners
It wouldn't surprise me if they thought they were in Kenmore Square when they were casing Kendall.
My favorite part is how he
My favorite part is how he got three parking tickets in four days.
