Too much anti 2nd Amendment bitching on this thread.

Not the way I see it. I see a lot of people here saying they respect the guy’s right to carry a weapon but no one is repecting the way the guy (soldier) is acting like an ass.
I am a huge 2nd amendment supporter, but if someone screws up while supporting it, they need to be called out same as anyone else. We can still say the guy sucks and support his right to carry a gun.
I have no problem with the vet whatsoever.
Too many statists on FR.
Doesn't matter. The Constitution protects "guys who act like asses" too.
Acting like a jerk is no reason to arrest someone. If that were the case, almost every cop in the state would be behind bars for life.
My personal LIBERTY means I can protect myself when anyone...even a COP...is acting out of bad faith....and people...especially cops...need to learn to use discretion. There are too many ninnies out there who think every shadow is the devil...and just because they think they see the devil doesn't mean the cop has to treat you like it. AND there are too many cops...many of which look like they eat at fat Burger on a nightly basis...who take their power overboard.
Do I think the vet carried that weapon on purpose...maybe even trying to start something? Probably. But bottom line: IT IS HIS RIGHT to do so.
The second we start judging the intents of someone's heart is the second we should just junk the WHOLE constitution...including the 1st Amendment.
