Since Philando Castile's killer was set free, will 2nd Amendment advocates express outrage?

Will all the highly visible folks who flock to the aid of legal gun owners take to the airwaves? Or will there be relative silence because this victim didn't fit a certain demographic profile?

But as someone who has a permit, carries regularly and knows more than a little bit about police procedures I find this verdict an absolute travesty.

We are talking about a minority, they don't care. They were sent back to deliberate so it seems like someone that was holding out was swayed. The police are never found guilty so although I am saddened by the verdict, I am not surprised by it. The jury consisted of 10 white people and 2 black people.
