idiotic. This is an open carry state where dozens of people are armed. He wasn't "running around" and he didn't have his rifle raised either. There's footage of it. He's just walking around with the gun in a resting position when they shoot at him

Yeah, I should assume any armed amerikkkan I see on the street is doing it for my safety

if they're dressed up as an anti-fascist marching on your side, then yeah pretty much

I don't know what to say other than I don't trust fellow yanks with guns who I don't know. I wouldn't have gone wild west on anyone like the "peacekeepers" did but I'm not going to be able to tell at a glance that someone wearing all black is a "good guy"

Well I'm sure there were about 500 armed people at that march alone, Utah is open carry. I personally approve of demonstrations of armed force at our protests, although I think it should be more regimented and disciplined than anarchists meandering around with their own guns

Yeah, I don't doubt there were lots of guns out that day, but I 100% agree with you that if you're going to open carry at a protest like this, do it with an organized group. Not blaming this particular individual for getting shot or getting others shot, but I think the confusion is understandable

I’m a liberal gun owner. Am I amerikkkan now too? Such a stupid two brain cell fighting for third place comment.

Would be a lot cooler if you were a communist gun owner

[–] pinesolcario@lemy.lol -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

TF would I do that for?
