Get that through your head. And then get over it.



No one is scared of guns and no one is damn sure scared of gun owners.

I don’t need to hide behind large weapons to feel like a man, unlike others.

Btw, I bow hunt, so stop making assumptions.
no one is scared of guns? really? the woman in the story was, thats why she called the cops. there are a lot of people that are afraid of guns.

Remember the black man in Florida who was shot, even though he was cooperating with cops...and he wasn’t even the one that someone called 911 on?

Not a peep from anyone in this thread about that, though. But a white guy with a gun in a public space? That’s irrational and a problem.
Maybe it's because that's not what the subject matter of this thread is?

Remember the fair-skinned thug who murdered 17 people in Parkland?

And Sutherland Springs?

What about Vegas?

Good for this woman. Exercising her right to call the police when SHE determined a potential threat. I’m sure she didn’t factor the backlash from insecure, insignificant, irrelevant people crying on the internet, so good.

Nothing happened. The woman did what she felt she needed to do, the cop did his job and the man was let go with his little gun. Get over it.

A person WIELDING a gun, and not dropping it after being ordered by police is VERY different from someone with a HOLSTERED gun playing with his kids. Maybe there are some that don't understand, nor WANT to understand these blatant differences out of political motivation.

Not a peep in those threads about that “subject matter” from anyone posting in this thread.

How that was difficult to understand, I don’t know.

Talk about irony, though.

so pick out the mass shootings where the people WERE doing suspicious things before hand, had contact with LEOs and nothing was done, and then they went out and killed a number of people, and compare those situations to a guy DOING NOTHING WRONG and minding his own business, and not having a number of contacts with the LEOs to a rampage killer.

yeah, and of course you say you are not afraid of guns, or someone carrying a gun, riigghhht!!!

Legitimately curious about this

Did those shooters have previous contact with the police?
What was the cause of that contact?

This may be hard for you to understand, but I didn’t call the cops on the guy, she did.

However, I’d be willing to bet she couldn’t give a Massachusetts what you think.

You weren’t there, so who are you to tell this woman when it is and isn’t okay to call the police on a man with a weapon in a public space.

Get over it.

The whole idea of people like this woman, they hope if they harass someone enough for exercising their rights, they will give up their rights.

No, the whole idea is that they see a person with a gun and they call the police to be the ones who can determine if that is a "good guy with a guy" or a "bad guy with a gun". I know I'm not about to confront someone with a gun to ask them, never mind whether I should accept their answer, since I suspect the bad guy with a gun just might lie.
