Ohhh goddamnit here we go :
Carrying a firefarm : You can't shoot what you can't see - ol' boy was hidden, he wasn't tracking an individual - he was targeting and advertised rally.
The reason the "open carriers" weren't trying to aim in to return fire, was because as soon as they got a firing posture, they'd look like the enemy and get shot by police.
In a scenario where 1 bad guy has a gun, 500 cops have guns, and you're standing there being an idiot at a rally with a gun.. you better not draw that fucking thing if you want to go home. I'll agree everyone in the BLM movement are idiots - but they do have a right to carry regardless.
Not going to go look up fbi data for your retarded ass, but go look up the millions of break ins, that happen each year, and out of those millions how many are violent towards the victim, and out of those - how many are stopped in their tracks by gun owners.
Then the number you can't look up, is the number of criminals dissuaded from committing a crime on account of the fact they know they might get shot (which is why there's more break ins in gun free zones)
Now lets talk about the fucked up skewed numbers, how people want to say "theres only a handful of legal killings per year" - yeah, look up non-lethal legal shootings, legal gun owners are out to protect themselves, not to kill. Its like 50 legal kills a year, 15,000 legal shootings where they just protect themselves or their family, or the innocent people around them - disabling the bad guy but not killing him - he still goes to trial... after a hospital visit.
Any pussy ass moron who thinks guns don't make things better, lets ship your ass to fallujah, where the city is "disarmed", but i bet your ass will get dragged out in the street if the sunni masses don't like something you do, and lets see how many body parts you get smashed, ripped off, and whether you survive it or not.
get more guns on the street plz / thx.
