Personally, I think anyone with a gun ought to be tackled, preferably with enough physical damage they don't forget.

Open carry is illegal in my city and the police reflexively shoot any non-LEO they see carrying a gun.

Of course some of our cops deserve to be tackled too, but I'm not that crazy.

Fucking brilliance in action.

The irony is you have no clue that your thinking and what you approve of (nay, cheer) makes you MORE dangerous than over 99% of the people who own guns.

You cheer people being shot "reflexively". Makes me want to puke.

All those silly gangsters shooting at one another, occasionally killing innocent bystanders, cops, occasionally killing innocent bystanders, they all think they are doing it for some good reason.

The real reason? They are all fools with guns.

Bloody fucking idiots.
