By now you've probably heard of the group Open Carry Texas. If you haven't, let me give you a bit of a run down on their relevance:
Open Carry Texas is one of many groups of gun-lovers, this one operating in the Lone Star State. What distinguishes this group from other ones is the fact that they seem to want to carry their guns publicly in places like restaurants. This, naturally, has created a bit of an uproar, with even the gun-lovers' best friends, the NRA, saying that that's just "...downright weird..." (The NRA ended up retracting that statement later.)
Now, you may be thinking, "Is this legal?" Or you might not be thinking at all. But let's pretend the thought on your mind is the question I brought up. To answer said question, yes, it is perfectly legal. You can't marry a man if you're a man, or a woman if you're a woman, but you can bring in an AK-47 to a Chilis.
Now, I just have to ask a question here: WHY, IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS GOOD AND DECENT, ARE YOU BRINGING GUNS TO RESTAURANTS AND SUCH? In case you haven't noticed, you eat at restaurants, not shoot people. And if someone wants to bring up a "they might be in the hood" argument, let me just stop you right there. This a white, redneck thing, not a ghetto, hood thing.
Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with people owning guns. I personally think there should be some more restrictions on buying one, and some gun laws that are a tad bit stricter, but I'm fine with gun ownership. What I am not fine with, however, is bringing a loaded weapon capable of killing people into a restaurant. Why is that even legal? This should be on the "We'd have to be brain-dead to even think of making this legal" list. You can't have your dong out in public, but you can have your AK-47 out in public? No. Much like a dong, guns should be private. It's fine that you have one, just don't shove it down our throat.
(By the way, I'm pretty sure shoving an AK-47 down someone's throat is illegal.)
Listen, I get it. You're afraid Obama's going to take your guns. Now, let's pretend that's true and just think about this for a second. By carrying your weapons in public, you're pretty much giving the president a good reason to take your guns. You're proving you're not responsible enough to own one, since you're bringing it to places it really shouldn't be. You're making people think, "Wow, what psychotic gun nuts. I hope someone does something about this," instead of, "Wow, more people should own guns." Your idiocy is counter-productive.
Please, stop this. While it gives me something to write about besides Creepypasta (I'm honestly worried that I'm overdoing the Creepypasta thing, actually), I think you're idiots. Just fucking idiots. Please stop being idiots. Thank you.
