That's the typical hate for power tactic used in this administration.
It's not the first, Putin uses the same tactics, claiming Ukraine is run by Nazis. Jews are also popular targets, quite traditional. It's the Base conditioning used by leftists for over a century.
Hate to gain power is the way of evil men. Like Holder & Obama & Abbas &..........
This has been going on in Crook County for a very long time. I also know of three people who have had their guns taken because in the middle of a divorce, the wife suddenly feels "threatened". Two of these people were victims of the same woman! None of them spent the money required to recover their guns. It's just cheaper to buy new ones in most cases.
As Usual the New York Times, that covered up Genocide in Ukraine, supported Stalin ( the #2 mass murderer in history ) and leans in the sinister direction, Lies Again.
This time to steal your civil rights and property.
Over reaction? No, they are on record supporting gun confiscation, and editorials on how Gun Owners should be Killed for the Good Of The State.
The safest places on the planet are places like that.
The SCA biggest annual meet, the Pennsic War, does not allow fire arms, except the cannon used to start & stop battles.
Not because of fear, they aren't period to our charter. Almost everyone is armed, just with older weapons. ( 1000-1650 AD ) very safe place for women with thousands of guys who choose to be chivalrous. Who live to rescue a Damsel in distress. And are very proficient with weapons from every era.
I've been to historical recreation meets and camped next to the Civil War crowd. And the Revolutionary War folk. Lots of heavily armed people and the only argument is which is the best sword.... and on foot or horseback.
Laws vary state by state. TN's law makes a lot of sense to me in that if you carrying and accidentally flash a view of the weapon, you aren't in violation of the law. Some other states can fine you because your shirt rides up and gives a glimpse.
I'm not a fan of open carry, but I like it because of the legal protection it gives to the carrier.
Yeah, there was a bill in TN that was to make the state open carry and only required CCW if carried concealed. It didn't pass. It will probably come back around.
There are some LEO who will give you a hard time out of ignorance of the TN statues claiming that if you open carry that you are in violation of the CCW laws.
There was a recent law being worked on that would allow the carrying of weapons into parks (currently prohibited). If women go into parks and trails, they are sitting ducks. Additionally, recreational parks are currently "gun free zones".
If someone wanted to rack up maximum death count without opposition, the local soccer field would be a prime target.
BTW, my friend who I went with (and pictured in the bottom picture I posted) just got a call from Armalite. He won a 13" three gun rifle with Leupold tactical scope, three gun trigger and free three gun round.
