This picture from yesterday brought to mind the direction we may need to go to put a stop to this OPEN CARRY crap upon the land, OPEN CARRY laws are defacto only for white people, for any black man openly carrying a handgun or assault rifle will be more than likely shot on sight by the police.
That can even be taken a step further, both the Alton Sterling murder by Howie Lake II in Baton Rogue and the Minnesota murder of Philando Castile by Officer Jeronimo Yanez was partly due to the officers knowing beforehand a black man had a legal weapon on them before they approached the vehicle. One was shot through the heart at pointblank range while being held down and the other shot four times at pointblank range with a 4 year old in the car. Most Republicans are unable to imagine what it would be like if they, or their son, father, brother were stopped and killed by a bad cop. That is called EMPATHY which Republicans do not have the DNA to understand. They are unable to ever get past me, I, mine and my.
Perhaps we are going the wrong direction in trying to deal with our violent gun nature in the 2nd Amendment and should instead peruse the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment.
The guns are the prime mover of America’s promotion and celebration of violence.
