Sure you do. Many of the criminals walk around with guns all the time in D.C. What you mean to say is that you don't allow people inclined to follow the law to just walk around with guns.

Except gangs aren't known for following laws that require them to have a clean criminal record...... The blue rags are kind of telling.

That would be an assumption that cannot be answered by just the photo. For all you know, they are all legal gun owners.

Because gang members don't have a reputation for carrying legal, it would be a safe assumption, and I believe reasonable people would agree with me.

So are you making the assumption that the people in the photo you posted are illegally carrying?

You originally posted the supporters of open carry Texas. Not me.
However, they are all legally carrying because licensing is not required there to carry rifles.

I wasn't referring to that photo, I thought you were aware of which photo I was referring to.

Which photo are you referring to? The gang, or the bunch of rifle carriers?

No matter, one is a gang that would require background checks and CCW's. And the other is a pic of rifle carriers that requires no licensing. It is safe to say the gang have no licenses since that would be extremely unlikely and unusual. The others require no license so no way they are breaking the law.

And how exactly can you tell from the photo that this "gang" do not have any licenses to carry their guns? That is quite an assumption to make from a photograph.
