Yeah, I hate that this was one scenario where the local police were actually in the right. But it’s not hard to imagine someone who’s been pushed to the fringes of society — whether because they’re Black, or queer, or neurodivergent, etc — being denied gun access just because a random cop got a “bad feeling” about them. (And that “bad feeling” could almost be “backed up” by digging some school record or something that says “So-and-so was insubordinate one time” without any context or perspective on it.)
