It's difficult for me because I am a rational adult who understands that with rights come responsibilities. Just because you are lawfully able to do something doesn't excuse you from questioning whether or not it is the right thing to do under the circumstances at hand. This kid did what he did in order to shock people, and that's why he had the note in his pocket--he fully expected something to happen to him because he knew how provocative his actions were going to be. He has accomplished nothing but to further inflame the anti 2A crowd with his irresponsible behavior. I also understand that our threat level is not even remotely close to that faced by the good people of Israel. It's just not even comparable. I'm curious. What is the practical purpose, beyond pulling a provocative political stunt, for an American to take a rifle into a grocery store in the middle of a city? No, It is not "self defense"...even Detroit is not that bad.

He did it to make a point. He did it because it IS legal and should be perfectly acceptable to any rational adult you takes their responsibilities seriously.

A Right not exercised is more easily taken. A little bit of wisdom you seem to be over looking in your rampant rush to judge and to be seen as not scaring the sheep.
