That's bullshit. You just aren't looking. The right says open carry makes us safer. It doesn't. Who the FUCK thinks that going armed to a bar is a smart thing?Bludogdem wrote: ↑Wed Mar 30, 2022 10:45 am I don’t like open carry. I live in an open carry state yet never have I seen anyone open carry.
To blame open carry on Alabama’s gun homicide rate is just stupid but that’s no surprise. To blame anything on open carry is just stupid.
Florida has no open carry and Texas does. They have identical gun homicide rates.
People who open carry aren’t responsible for gun homicides. People who open carry aren’t a threat.
Gun owners aren’t a threat. 300,000,000+ guns, 75-100 million gun owners and there are 19,000 gun homicides. Do the math.
There’s a reason southern states have higher gun homicide rates. It has nothing to do with gun laws or political parties.

Just for the record. I have never fired a gun.
But when we discuss reasonable, sane gun regulation, you - as you yourself have done on this thread - accuse us of wanting to ban guns.
If we are a nation of responsible gun owners, why is the United States of America the world leader by far in gun deaths? Why doesn't Canada have the same level of gun deaths?
Go ahead, answer the questions.
