        Open carry should be openly outlawed. It’s absolutely ridiculous to allow people to openly carry machine guns, it’s pathetic.

        What would have happened if these where Black men walking the streets with these weapons? Would police say, oh it's legal to carry these weapons and then just walked away?? 🤔

        Armed person requires armed person response. Makes sense? It should. Solution? Disarm both. Kinda sounds like U.S. vs. N.K.

        White supremacy is a sick way of looking at human beings because they are stereotyping. Same as other screwed up racial groups.
