USA – -(Ammoland.com)- “We’re trying as best we can as a law enforcement community to make it work so that citizens can express their 2nd Amendment rights,” former Dallas Police Chief David Brown said almost a year ago in response to armed protesters. “But it’s increasingly challenging when people have AR-15s slung over their shoulder and they’re in a crowd. We don’t know who the good guy is versus the bad guy when everyone starts shooting.”
That’s easy, Chief Brown. The bad guy is the person shooting innocents. Time was Texas cops didn’t have a problem distinguishing who needed to be stopped (and who was helping them stop him) when college students retrieved their rifles and pinned down the UT Austin sniper. And if not being in uniform is too much for his guys to handle, they’re endangering the lives not just of citizens, but of plainclothes police and state and federal agents who may be at a breaking violence scene.
So it’s not just “open carry” Brown opposes, but ALL carry if it means guns may have to be pulled in public. And you can bet – since he brought it up — the thought of We the People having AR-15s doesn’t swell his heart with pride to be a free American.
