America..why won't you just ban the fucking gun?

[blueviper]

One of the shooters was tackled by civilians. The gun was... large. Seems unlikely that this was just some fight that escalated.

Not sure why the size of the gun matters. Gun nuts like to carry the biggest thing they're legally allowed to carry.

I don't know what happened, but the size of the gun has no bearing on motive.

... Except that people who like to carry their guns at a parade are more likely to be violent.

I would assert no one brings a tactical assault rifle to a crowded space without an expectation to use it

Well, I fucking agree with that.

Am I the only one that thinks this looks ridiculous walking around with a rifle in public. Even though it's your "right" to do so, it's lame as hell.

ruddo would clank their heads together, give them the what for, take there guns and get a coke

Imagine walking around in public like that thinking you are some kind of fucking hero.

Utterly speechless at that photo.

Utterly speechless at that photo.

That was from a couple of years ago. A few guys decided to walk around downtown Raleigh for a while open carrying the biggest guns they had just because they could. They made sure they went into any business where they thought it would bother people to try and get into arguments. It was all very normal and hero-like.

I can no longer see the photo but I assume it's the dudes in Subway with a mini bazooka?

I don't remember it being a bazooka, but yeah, you got the idea.

Marijuana (and other drug users) rejoice! Hunter's team feels pretty good about the appeal, so thanks to his tribulations it will no longer be disqualifying to be a drug using gun owner in a year or so.

can't believe they are infringing on his 2A rights like this just b/c he like to get high every 30 minutes or so

Maybe if the government can establish that he was never sober during the application process and while possessing the gun, he won't succeed. One time he was sober for about 20 minutes and was legally allowed to handle the gun seems a kind of strange standard.

A "good character" test would be ripe for all kinds of abuse, but prohibiting felons and non property owners from voting certainly passed the test at the founding.
