What, that we're all idiots and will eventually die? I don't think any of us are kidding ourselves with that, maybe just trying to avoid it happening sooner than necessary.Isn’t the problem that the presence of a person so accoutered reminds us of the truth we do not want to face?
Not no but fuck no! A housewife and her two children shopping at Walmart aren’t gonna be thinking about the reasons why some incel is carrying all that shit. She's just gonna be fucking horrified and scared.Isn’t the problem that the presence of a person so accoutered reminds us of the truth we do not want to face?
The guy is black.If the guy was black he'd have been executed immediately, problem solved.
In general yes. But how about women on first dates in states that have banned abortions even for rape and have open carry laws?If the guy was black he'd have been executed immediately, problem solved. No one I know thinks open carry is a good idea, and that includes my gun nut friends. If I didn't know it was against the law or the store policy, I'd certainly speak with an employee and let them know about the guy. I would not call the cops myself unless it was known to be definitely illegal and he was acting like something was up.
Open carry is just stupid for the public in general.
Points gunWouldn't call it in. It's not dangerous until a barrel is pointed at you, or someone else. If that happened, yeah, call that shit in.
Please don't imply I am suggesting we're all idiots that will eventually die. That will happen to all of us. My wish is that I could do so without fear. A person walking around with arms and a mask is an object onto which I can readily project just how far from acceptance of reality I really am.What, that we're all idiots and will eventually die?

And the foolish generally don't realize how close they are to death every day. Maybe we shouldn't enable easy death on the foolish? Or maybe we should, too many of us running around anyhow.Please don't imply I am suggesting we're all idiots that will eventually die. That will happen to all of us.

Perhaps you've read, "Cowards die many times before their deaths. The valiant never taste of death but once."
I think you are confusing a natural reaction that almost everybody would have with trying to understand on a deeper level why they have it. I understand your point of view. I am interested for myself. I live as though I were a leaf in the breeze blown this way and that because I have no control over fear. I know the problem, I do not know the cure. But I do believe there are some who are not like me.Not no but fuck no!

There is so much wrong there!This happened 2 years ago.
What happened to him?
edit
Marley was arrested without incident and booked on 11 felonies, and he was held without bail after a judge ruled that he was a threat to the public.
Then, 10 months later, the charges were dropped because—under Georgia gun laws, which have become increasingly lenient in recent years—there’s nothing felonious about carrying loaded guns and wearing body armor in public.
I have heard it suggested that a constant awareness of death makes life worth living.And the foolish generally don't realize how close they are to death every day. Maybe we shouldn't enable easy death on the foolish? Or maybe we should, too many of us running around anyhow.
Whether or not you have a legal right to do something doesn't reflect on whether you should actually do it.
There is so much wrong there!
So you support mandatory open carry, for the betterment of everyone's life?I have heard it suggested that a constant awareness of death makes life worth living.
Seems like it.Now that I think about it this is pretty amusing. I think under current Supreme Court jurisprudence in the movie Tombstone Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday, etc. are the bad guys - attempting to unconstitutionally confiscate the arms of the Cowboys.
I calmly watched the timer on that stick of dynamite countdown for 20 mins. When it reached 5 seconds I thought I had better call that shit in.Wouldn't call it in. It's not dangerous until a barrel is pointed at you, or someone else. If that happened, yeah, call that shit in.
No, I find it to be a profoundly emotionally offensive thing to do. I think it indicates a person who has been so emotionally beaten down they have no hope at all they could ever be praised for positive actions. All they can hope for is feeding their immature egos with negative attention.So you support mandatory open carry, for the betterment of everyone's life?
