    Openly displaying a gun just because you can is bad politics. Even some firearm advocates agree. https://usat.ly/2ij5Ijf  via @USATOpinion

        Yes let police let armed men who want to create a white ethnic state intimidate people in public and make them feel safe doing it.

        You have to change the person not his tools. If there were no assault rifles, Vegas would have still happened, ever heard of bombs or fire

        Human stupidity is infinite. A weapon makes a man feel stronger when his brain is weaker.

        If everyone...EVERYONE was trained and carried a sidearm...perhaps less people would feel like drawing a firearm.

        It's often the case that these open carry idiots suffer from an inferiority complex.

        There’s a right and wrong way to open carry, but @USATODAY just wants to end open carry and Gun ownership.

        Openly displaying a gun just because you can is bad politics. I agree. And it shows who the "geardo wannabes" who got gear from ebay.
