However, subsequent reports suggest some of the power behind these protests cropping up nationwide comes from the same local engine: brothers Christopher, Aaron, and Ben Dorr.


Ben happens to be the political director of a group called Minnesota Gun Rights, the self-described “non-compromising gun rights organization,” which made a name for itself conservative Republican lawmakers, even the National Rifle Association, for being too tame and accommodating on the Second Amendment.

As reported by the Washington Post, the Dorr brothers are using Facebook to call for anti-quarantine protests far and wide. Ben created the group “Wisconsinites against Excessive Quarantine,” Christopher contributed with “Pennsylvanians Against Excessive Quarantine,” Aaron started “New Yorkers Against Social Quarantine,” and so on.
