I’m not saying people should walk around with ar 15s but unless the dude had it shouldered and started aiming it you just go talk to them and discern their intentions. At the very least get close enough to hit your target when you shoot.

It is what it is, being armed at a protest should not be an automatic death sentence especially when it’s legal (for better or worse).

I own firearms and I think they’re too easy to get and need to be better regulated but I am not in Congress writing laws nor sitting on the Supreme Court making shitty decisions on how to read the 2nd amendment. Regardless of my opinion though I think shooting at someone and missing and hitting another person is pretty fucking egregiously bad.

I’m not a crack shot by any stretch of the imagination but it is ludicrous to me this person shot into a crowd to try to subdue a person that wasn’t posing an immediate threat. Who was surrounded by people who were not freaking out which should tell you they’re not dangerous

Yeah, you should be suspicious. That’s why you go investigate what’s going on and don’t just shoot a dude, or rather shoot at a person, miss them then proceed to murder an innocent man because your aim is shit.
