Well, it is certainly worth keeping in mind that this is easy enough to do on Twitter and we want to be careful of confirmation bias when seeing social media that supports the Second Amendment.

The gun descriptions aren't accurate and there's no evidence that this is what the pic is all about.

The Twitter post describes them as “rifles” and I described them as AR15s. Both of those descriptions are accurate. The people in the background are wearing yarmulke and Orthodox Jewish clothing. One of the men has a magazine that’s flush with the AR magwell. Another has one of those ban-state abomination grip/stocks. The traffic signs indicate the location is in the United States somewhere although there is no latitude/longitude in the metadata.
So we do have evidence and so far, none of the evidence we have contradicts the tweet.
