Current Events > Why do 2nd Ammendment fans never speak up when cops kill gun owners?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm not a fan of guns much. I'll never own one. But I have always felt that if cops can shoot you just for having a gun, then the 2nd Ammendment is really just a myth

We don't actually truly have the right to own guns, if any cop at any moment can decide to kill you for owning a gun

If the 2nd Ammendment was real, when a cop saw a legal gun owner, they would say "hello" and then walk away

Many legal gun owners have been shot by cops, when they weren't even doing anything. Or when they are trying to defend themselves

A cop recently had a trial for shooting a woman in her own home when she looked out her window to see who was creeping around her house at night

They found a gun next to her body. Her nephew was in the house and saw her get shot. He says they didn't know who was outside and his aunt was trying keep him safe

They dont all act and think the same. The sooner you figure that out the better

I've never seen a 2nd Ammendment fan say what I just said. If some are like me, they are being quiet

And really I'm asking why the NRA won't speak up.

Has nothing to do with what you said. What I mean is that Im sick of things like this. Gun owners, teachers, dentists, morticians, ect, none of them DO anything, its made up of different personalities and thoughts

Amendment.

You'd think more people would be riled up by this

The NRA doesn't defend owners of a certain "shade."

We do speak out about it. But it never makes a difference. Police just shoot first and ask questions later. Always have. Always will. And they'll get away with it too.

They cant. This is the problem with your logic.

Except they do. Cops kill people all the time

As described, it is not a legal use of force.

Why do people generalize about other people and then get mad about it?

They usually declare that the cop was justified. That makes it a legal use of force

No. Not as you described.

For many they do complain, and it does bother them, but like with government you have little power to change much or effect anything. You vote in politicians that say they will do things only for most of the time them to say oh there are more important things to focus on right now I will get to that soon though, but soon often never comes. Then the next one promises change, only to play out on the stalling game.

If a politician fixed all the problems they would have nothing to campaign on to get the people to get off their butts to go out and vote for them. Like doctors if you cure all diseases many are out of a job, and trillions in revenue is lost.

No. You said cops can kill people for owning a gun. That isnt true.

It actually is. They see you with a gun, they shoot. They worry later if you legally owned it or not

Try walking past a cop holding a gun and see how that works out for you

So you acknowledge that their decision has nothing to do with whether or not the person is a gun owner.

You agree with me.

They're usually authoritarians who support state violence against certain citizens.

We acknowledge that that's a problem

This happens all the time? I live in an open carry state

TC, what are you even on about?

You admit that you don't leave the house and struggle taking social ques in 90% of your posts. Why do you have such pronounced stances on this? You flat out tell people you don't really know how things go in the outside world.

Staunch 2A supporters are often critical of police shootings involving lawful gun owners.

They also hate the ATF on principle.

Broaden your horizons; I think your limited friend group is creating a very narrow world view.

They do.

Where the fuck are you getting that from? I'm pro 2A and absolutely fucking despise cops and know plenty of folks just like me.

They being the cops.... of course they won't admit to wrongdoing.

Yea I do have limited social experience but I do read the news about police shootings a lot

There was a black guy who got pulled over once and he told the cop he had a legal gun in the car. Cop said ok then asked for license. He started to pull it out, then the cop shoots him
