Looks like cheeto shitgibbon went with “both sides of all kinds of supremacy” …
USA 2019: When you get home from work and read “Mass media house evacuated in the US due to suspicion about armed shooter” as the headline on the news - on the other side of the globe - and you’re not even surprised.
LOL. She is fucking useless.

When the fuck should you debate gun control? More of that bullshit “It’s too soon, don’t politicize this perfectly avoidable tragedy!”
Don’t politicize the politically-motivated shooting.

What better way to curtail the next mass shooting in Texas? AMIRITE?

It makes the initial post in this thread age like the fine ironic wine that it is.

That’s the most frustrating thing - there is no “both sides”. There are two sides, one that wants to do nothing, and the other that wants to desperately to do something, anything at all. Compromise means talking about it until people get tired and wander off and the issue goes away, accomplishing nothing but the maintenance of the status quo. Which is entirely one sided.

I mean, we certainly can’t wait a reasonable time after a major shooting incident. Because there’s not enough time between major shooting incidents to do that.

If you’re not a participant in a combat zone, why do you need this weapon?

It’s doubly idiotic because not only is this threatening/intimidating to others, but he also makes himself a target for shooters. I suppose in a way that’s a good thing?
If you really thought you could be John McClane, concealed carry makes much more sense, and it doesn’t freak out everyone in the vicinity.
Do you really feel threatened by the scene in that picture? A gun slung on the back of a slightly overweight white guy wearing shorts and white socks while he’s in some goofy store with his wife.
To me it’s less intimidating than a SWAT guy in a transit station or on a street corner with a gun in his hands at low ready while in full gear (presumably for some show of force well after the last major attack they failed to prevent). That’s someone on edge. It’s a bit disturbing.
It’s a random asshole, who in a few seconds can kill me. As we have learned, fashion sense and the ability to murder are two very different things. Why should I not be scared?
Perhaps in self defense, the only solution is to go out and kill everyone that owns a gun?

Imagine a Muslim man walking around a store strapped with that weapon.
Also, bruh, you only got two hands.
(“No smoking on premises” because cigarettes will kill you).
I just think if you’re worried about “IF he decided to become an active shooter” then you haven’t been paying attention to the profile and MO of these disturbed young men.
I mean, you’re welcome to worry, but that seems unnecessary. You’ll get an ulcer that way.
I’d welcome it. White Texans (I presume) would learn that someone who looks different than them shares a similar belief. A simple act that reduces division in the world.
Maybe they’d take a harder look at who benefits by trying to drive a wedge between them. Okay, now I’m in fantasy land.

And how many unfortunate shootings while these white Texans presumably learn?
Fantasy land.
Given that he’s carrying a loaded assault rifle in a manner that almost ensures that the most likely user is someone other than himself, yes, I’m kind of threatened. He’s an idiot with a killing machine, which is not a good combination.
Oh, that’s intimidating and dangerous too, but the SWAT guy is only there because we’re a nation full of idiots with assault weapons and fools who think that’s the way it ought to be. Solve that problem and the SWAT guy goes back to the police station to drink coffee and eat donuts, where he belongs.
That’s C.J. Grishan of Open Carry Texas. pushing Starbucks. “I think having firearms around does, on a weird level, make me feel a little calmer,” Grisham told Esquire . “Because one of the things about guys like me with PTSD is you have this hypervigilance.”
