#OpenCarry

Hey, #Utahns #utpol #utleg #SaltLake #SaltLakeCity read this article with a lot of quotes by Clark Aposhian about how our #OpenCarry #ConstitutionalCarry #Unlicened #GunLaws mean you can walk around with guns in public, in crowds, at protests and not be consideted to be breaking any laws, maybe even after you shoot someone.

Then, consider, who is Clark Aposhian? How many guns does he own? Has he ever done anything that could be charged as #DomesticViolence that could result in his losing his ability to own guns? Did prosecutors chicken out and plead him down because they were afraid of a massive shootout when they tried to seize those guns? Should we maybe not give guys that behave like him so much say in who gets to behave how with what deadly weapons?

I know #Colorado is an #OpenCarry state, but how terrified do you have to be in low-crime suburbia that you need to carry a #1911 at a fast food joint?

Ok you leftie beaux besties: y'all need to peep muh man here. He's on the right side of history, with a piece on his right side. 🖤✊🏽🏴 #opencarry #defend #rise #resist #revolution #protect #guns #guncontrol

Start having Black and Brown protestors #OpenCarry at events and watch how fast these laws change.

Food For Thought on permissive #GunControl #Law in the modern #US. Going back as far as history records, carrying weapons was heavily regulated inside of cities, often to the point where even carrying #swords within the walls of a #Medieval settlement was only allowed for officials.

US #OpenCarry laws, and perhaps even licensed #ConcealedCarry, would be considered radical until the last century.

Perhaps we should rethink that.

The police chief in #Madison #Wisconsin #schoolshooting “I don’t know why, and I feel like if we did know why, we could stop these things from happening.”
Meanwhile, #GunViolence is the leading cause of child and teen mortalities in the U.S. by a wide margin, and has doubled in the past decade, outpacing peer nations by literal orders of magnitude.

Wisconsin is an #OpenCarry state that doesn’t require background checks for private #gun sales. Not knowing why this keeps happening is a choice.

@wdlindsy “voting with bullets” can’t become the norm.

An exGF commented that “we’ve stopped the jack-booted thugs from taking our guns”.

I’ve yet respond that #fascist #fearmongering has her believing that, leading to her hate of #libtards, while in reality gun laws have never been so loose, permit-less #opencarry with #standyourground laws allowing murder of anybody you deem a threat, irrespective of their actual intentions or even if they’re armed.

Golf on your mind, Trump?
Trump in the background, mindlessly swinging a golf club while an Uncle Sam type figure carries an AK-style weapon with Thoughts and Prayers engraved on the handle.

#florida is an #opencarry state, the gunman was on the other side of the fence (not trespassing) and didn’t fire a shot, and didn’t resist arrest. Not sure what he can be charged with.

Sounds like a #trump setup. Not to start any #conspiracytheories ;)

“They are, 1, trying to normalize the presence of military grade hardware in our society,” Bates said.”That’s why you see things like #OpenCarry. & 2, they are trying to militarize #politics. That’s what this is about, & you cannot have a functioning #democracy at the barrel of a #gun.”

#Republican #BeGole also said the bill would help halt future #legislation limiting gun use. Last yr, #Michigan passed 4 major #laws to limit #GunAccess, incl’g requirements for #SafeStorage & #BackgroundChecks.

So it would seem the Secret Service could do nothing about the Assassin because he was outside their, I.E Federal, jurisdiction. And the local police could do nothing because Wisconsin is an #opencarry state, as is detailed in this blast from the past.

Reminds me of Oakland in the 1960's #BlackPantherParty #NRA #OpenCarry days ✊👍 of the #NRA when they were on the same page, legally, right?

I usually assume that an open carry is work related, but this guy was giving off strong don’t-tread-on-my-thin-blue-southern-pride vibes.

Rep. #JustinJones: “The majority of #Tennesseans don’t want this… morally insane… The #Republican supermajority have lost their minds.”

On the bill to arm #teachers, and another to allow #OpenCarry of #AssaultWeapons, and lower the age to 18.

At this point I’d be surprised if there hasn’t been an #activeshooter of at least one university in every state. So much for all them #opencarry peeps walking around packing in the state of #nevada. That is not going to scare someone from not shooting people, it just makes it where it’s a suicide mission blazing #guns in glory. Make it make sense ….. #gunlaws #unlv

"We can arm our people, but we can't house our people. We can load them up like a heavy-weapons platoon, but we can't arrange a one-room efficiency for the winter. We can hand them an AR-15 and say, 'Go with god,' but we can't protect them, and we can't protect our fellow citizens against well-armed madmen. 'Shelter in place' has no chance against 'open carry.'"

Charles Pierce comments on a report by Jenna Russell in New York Times about the mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine. Ellis interviewed two homeless men who told her they had moved into the Lewiston park to be near the police station, after new of the shooting broke. They had nowhere to go and thought that might be the safest place.

Welcome to South Carolina, the "open carry" state, where even the town dentists are packing heat and ready to do some goddamn damage!

"Initial reports indicate Healey was carrying 'multiple weapons' at the time of the shooting and disregarded law enforcement’s commands to drop his weapons."
