So it's not simply the right to bear arms that people are reacting against.

open carry comes with that right. i realise people can't handle the optics, but since open carry of an AR15 is legally bearing arms in WI, it's irrelevant.

Yes.

Openly carrying a weapon is a show of force. If someone ignores that force and attacks you, they deserve to be subjected to it.

Why you've raised an idiotic analogy whereby someone brings a rifle to a skatepark is another matter.

Ok thanks Charlton Heston.

If multiple other people are pointing and shouting that they shot someone? Maybe not believe the dude with the gun?

Any other time the people taking on the gunman are lionised.

Think about why these people aren’t.

Why are you suggesting they haven't been? Do you have a theory/ angle?

I would say plenty of people have lionised (new word for me) them though.

This goe back to my original point then - the NRA should alter its "the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with gun" ethos to "stop. Consider all relevant evidence. Ignore all witnesses til you've weighed up all sides and come to a rational conclusion. Don't point your gun at them coz they can shoot you back and claim self defence".

I don't claim to be a supporter of the NRA and I'm sure that they have just as many money-incentive reasons for that slogan as ideological reasons.
My fascination in this case is purely professional.
I think a carefully thought out rational response in a heated situation is a good policy that will, more times than not, de-escalate a situation and lead you away from serious legal implications.

So if you're at a skatepark, and a guy trys to belt you with a skateboard, do you think you are within your rights to blow that guys brains out with an assault rifle?

Mate seriously you are just getting more ridiculous with every post. Please stop.

Open carry is distinct from the right to bear arms. That's why it requires separate legislation.

Interestingly Gaige Grosskreutz actually broke the law in relation to firearms more than Rittenhouse. He had a concealed carry pistol with no valid permit to do so which is an offence. Not to mention the amount of lies he told investigators. What a scum bag. Glad he won’t get a cent from his 10 mil case.

He actually should be the one that was on trial

So you're all cool with BLM , Antifa and any random teenager walking around with an assault rifle open carry style?
Cannot you see the absurdity of your argument?
Your argument logically concludes that every person should be able to walk around with an assault rifle in an urban setting.

Did the song exist before Trump used it?

Were you concerned about its existence up to that point?

Are The Village People now a fascist icon?

Cmon mate, we all know what type of judge it was. An old, white trump supporter judge.

You are simply regurgitating absurd gun lobby propaganda.

Biden as President can't be sued. When he's out of office they can have a pop but they'll have to wait.

Biden absolutely can be sued. Biden wasn't president when he made the comment so he cant claim immunity. That only comes when he is a sitting president.

No. I'm just simply regurgitating the law of the land, the facts of the case and the verdict.

Do you know this or just another assumption based on your extreme leftism.

Yes, quite correct as established in Clinton v. Jones, 520 U.S. 681 (1997).

open carry it is still legally bearing arms. pls refer to my original post we're going around in circles here.

they literally already do that and i support their right to do so.

Well you have a pretty good chance of being correct here. He appears to be old (I'd prefer the term experienced), he is white and there is approximately a 50% chance he voted for Trump at the last election.

So, in summary this is quite likely the most accurate statement you have made in this thread

It’s pretty clear the most legally accurate result was achieved.

Whether the law or the culture is “good” is probably where the argument lies.

 

[ChappyUK]

No, you are making an absurd assumption that having a song on a phone is proof of bias.

Yes, it's legal. That's not the issue.

Open carry is still distinct from the right to bear arms. That's why separate legislation is required.

Read that again slowly if you must.

 

[scoman]

Don't think that happened. Would be hilarious if it was true.

thank you.

It didn't. He played Despacito.

Just making a light-hearted point about judging people by what songs are on their phone.

We’ve had our day of dropping little trolls in the thread.

Let’s stop now.

The law of the US which is laughed at by the rest of the world.
