This is a Facebook post I put up yesterday (hence the "block" and "unfriend" reference).
I think Bloomberg and Moms Demand Action are confiscating gun banners in sheep's clothing.
But I think the in-your-face nature of Open Carry Texas is also beyond stupid. If that offends you, the "block" and "unfriend" buttons are up there for your use.
And no, I'm not interested in debating it. Honestly, if you feel the need to wander around town with a rifle... Hey, I carry rifles in and out of events and such all the time. But I don't carry rifles into restaurants and places like that. I leave them in the car.
This sort of stunt does not advance anything other than... gun control impulses. You only reinforce the committed, and you don't change the minds of the mushy middle.

These bubbas should *not* be the face of the Gun Rights movement. If you think carrying "tactically," with magazines inserted and booger-hook near the trigger is a good idea - you are a SWAT action looking for a place to happen. And deservedly so.
Sling it across your back. Better yet, leave it in your car. But if you think you are really going to get all Rambo and save the world with that approach... meh.
Just because you *can* doesn't mean you should do it in the most pig-headed in-your-face manner possible.
Because you look like buffoons. Because you are.
And you set the gun rights movement back. You are *not* advancing it.
