ded posted:Ok I want to learn something today. How is it that those guys who walk around carrying or have a rifle strapped to their chest not get at least cited for brandishing or carrying a weapon in a threatening manner? Going to a government building or the residence of a state governor and having a bunch of rifles is certainly not a lawful use of a firearm. At least in my uninformed opinion. Most everywhere this is happening it’s entirely legal. Cops just have a tendency to decide incidental muzzle sweeps from weapons are felonies when the wrong person carries them. It’s entirely legal to carry guns outside a home or into a government building in a lot of states/locales. Brandishing laws vary a lot by state. But often slung or low ready or holstered does not meet definition of “brandished.” Especially when it’s 40 protesters with cameras and not two unobserved cops deciding a person totally brandished their wallet wrong.

Even where open carry exists do you think that a group of black people with AR-15s are going to be allowed to walk right up to cops in the lobby of a state capitol (without being arrested / shot)? I guess I'd have to believe that when I see it.

No, if black people did it they'd be shot because they "appeared threatening" and white people would continue to be able to do as they pleased. The Second Amendment is and always has been for white men only.

One of the most blatant examples of this: Ohio is an "open carry" state, yet Tamir Rice, a child, was murdered within seconds of police arriving on the scene, for holding a toy, not even a real firearm.

I was thinking John Crawford III, who was murdered the instant the police opened the door for the crime of carrying a toy gun in a store that sells toy guns. Also Ohio.

one of the central tasks of police in the us is the production of white supremacy, most gun control laws are passed with the explicit intent of bolstering their ability to do this, but of course selective enforcement lets many laws serve that purpose

Relevant to recent events, if y'all haven't seen the movie Walker with Ed Harris it's pretty wild - a biopic of the most 'successful' filibuster William Walker, filmed on location in Nicuragua during the Contras War as a satire/indictment of US Latin American policy.

mlmp08 posted:Spent his post-war days aggressively killing and coercing American Indians. His pre-war days were full of running around California in the 1840s, I think. Sherman didn't let Ohio define him, but he had a big chip on his shoulder just being born there. It inspired him to leave. It's not like Sherman sat on an Ohio porch with a british flag and a cup of tea (because Ohioans celebrates losers like the confederates) his whole life, pushing some narration of bullshit. He went out, killed a lot of people, became a national treasure for what he did to Georgia and making South Carolina piss itself. He then led the war college for a string of years later after the war. His medal of honor is suspect, but so were a lot back then. Gotta admire the mans' tenacity, just for leaving Ohio. Imagine if he had stayed and the world never got to see his true gift at work. He did some bad poo poo, but kicking confederates around really, really weighs heavily in his favor.

I got no beef with Grant. And I haven't read nearly as much about him. Sherman really interested me because mentioning his name in parts of the South is still akin to calling someones' mother the loosest woman in town. There's still some super loving butthurt people out there.

I get it. I'm from Illinois originally. Ever once in a great while I feel tempted to uproot and roll back east to somewhere familiar, comfortable, but no, it was rural Illinois and the distinct lack of mountains is not made up for by the rich, loamy, glacial tilled soil that can pump out corn and soybeans by the barge load. There's really nothing there to return to, besides towns riddled with meth and pills, farms that can't turn a profit, but I still get reminiscent for the place. Best to let those demons' calls go through to voicemail.
