I don’t see that they are succeeding in normalizing threatening people with guns. Of course with anything related to guns there aren’t enough studies so I won’t ask you to show me the evidence. What I know is that whenever this comes up, I hear outrage, and it is not outrage about how comfortable people feel in these situations.
And to be clear I fully support outrage. The question is where to channel that outrage. The consensus here seems to be that eliminating audits is the best solution.
I’m very interested to hear if people have other targets for their outrage.
I’m sure y’all are too sophisticated to buy into the police’s weaksauce suggestion that more social media dialog is the solution.
That is illegal and obviously not to be tolerated. Being out in public open carrying a gun makes it easier to find and arrest them.
The people who do second amendment audits tend to be more careful than your average gun toter about not doing illegal things at the same time. For obvious self interested reasons.
Since you haven’t linked to the incident I can’t verify whether it was a simple audit or something else. The incidents you linked to are definitely something other than audits, and of course the illegal behavior should be fully prosecuted.
