Images of the Antis: Fear Mongering

Remember, the antis always say the NRA and pro-gun groups are paranoid and peddling fear:

When was the last time you saw a total stranger open carrying a firearm? For me it was the last time I saw a police officer. I know very few police officers, and generally when I see one, there’s his service weapon in it’s holster.

But NO! The antis will point out, cops are better trained and vetted and blah blah blah! Well yeah, except due to their relationship with the law they are more likely to break it.

Now while we can certainly admit there are corrupt police forces, and there are otherwise good forces that will stand up for bad officers, still I can easily say that most police officers are good. Still statistically you have a LOT more to fear from them than the average Joe who didn’t bother to cover his gun.

Also with all the open carry demonstrations and, let’s be honest, drama, who has been harmed? Who has been killed? Can you say the same about Police?

Of course Police’s job is different than an armed citizen….Police HAD to arrest a man selling smokes on the street corner.

Either way the difference is REALLY stark, you don’t have much cause to be fearful in this country in general, as it is very safe, but in a toe-to-toe comparison between cops and open carriers, the open carriers are handily the safest….and yet they DEMAND you fear them.

You MUST fear them, because they want you to HATE them, because hatred is an easy tool to allow them to strip us of our rights!
