He's carrying a rifle because it's "within his rights." That's the only reason he's doing so. That isn't stupid as shit to some people? JFC.

This isn't even about pro or anti-gun. This is about pro or anti stir shit up because it's my right. He had no practical reason to have that gun on his shoulder.

He doesn't need a practical reason.

You're correct, which is why the officers let him go. But when police get calls about someone walking down the road with a rifle, they have an obligation to investigate. They did, they let them go, but not before telling them he thought it was not a smart choice - and the cop was right.

What it exposes is a discriminatory nature in our society. Why does the mere act of someone carrying a gun make you think they present a threat? Do you feel threatened if you see a cop in uniform with a pistol on his hip? Now take that exact same person and put him in regular clothes. Do you now consider him to be a threat where he wasn't before in uniform? What happens if you change him from white to black, does that now make him a threat? You see the real issue in play here actually isn't about the second amendment, etc. It's about people who chose to discriminate and judge people based on appearance. How is this any different than the terrible practice police use to 'stop and frisk'? Police in those cases are using race to stop and question someone. In these cases they are using the presence of a firearm without any other actions. That's what makes this bad for everyone. If someone chooses to express themselves by wearing a firearm why should they be discriminated against? That's the biggest issue, it's a violation of your 1st amendment rights, much less any others. We should make stops based upon people's actions not based upon their appearance. If someone is doing something suspicious and carrying a firearm, or something threatening then by all means stop and investigate. But no one should be stopped just because of their appearance, whether that appearance is racial or the presence of a firearm.

And, questioning one's sanity when they feel the need to carry a rifle for protection when no imminent danger is present seems to be reasonable to me. |
