Or maybe the other thing . They’re just lone nuts right (three of them? A triorchidism?)
The Anti-Defamation League has background about the three men - Tyler Tenbrink, William Fears, and Colton Fears.

Tenbrink and William Fears are both felons, which means that Tenbrink isn’t allowed to have that gun in the first place. This Huffpo article also has more details.
Tenbrink pled guilty to a felony assault charge in Texas in 2014. That means he now faces additional charges of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, the Gainesville Police Department wrote in a statement.

But Fears was more than a troll. In 2009, he pleaded guilty to aggravated kidnapping after he abducted an 18-year-old female University of Texas at Tyler student at knifepoint and “wounded her several times.” He has also been convicted of criminal trespassing and possession of a controlled substance. It was while he was incarcerated, he told the Post, that he had become racially aware.
I was surprised that Rick Scott declared a state of emergency before Spencer’s rally. I’m sure that by enabling a greater police response, Scott prevented greater violence this week. Well done, that man. I’m sure it contributed to cops finding this car so quickly.
First Amendment rights are for wusses.
They were clearly criminals, WTF weren’t they incarcerated. Those were not misdemeanors. Even in Texas there are laws. Kinda makes you wonder what the rest of the supremist followers are. I would like to know stats on that. Free speech is one thing, shooting a gun into a crowd of people is another. That’s not cool, at all! ( an illegal gun, at that )

Colton Fears’ mugshot seems to convey that he hadn’t expected to be arrested on this trip.
