  • When judging the action presented in the comics, who really cares whether it happened or not. I’m not judging the author for something he did, but something that a lot of people in this thread seems to be cheering for, which is to scream at people for doing something they disagree with and think as pathetic. You know, the type of behaviour that the American Conservative like to do to people they don’t like. Those kinds of behaviour are just horrible, imo, regardless of how good your intention for doing it is.

    As for whether I’m autistic, I don’t know. I’ve never tried getting a diagnosis.

    And which of those situations are improved by you screaming at a person walking around with a holstered gun? Does it make them more likely to conceal carry or not bring a gun at all? I would say in most situations, people who already open carry will be more encouraged to do so by your actions.

    I consider actions like these as being more damaging to the anti-gun movement than anything.


  • A less than lethal weapon would also, presumably, has less of a deterrent than a gun, wouldn’t you agree?

    Also, you’re assuming that every bigot that dare to bash queer people would also want to be a murderer, which is not likely. Attacking from behind is more likely, but the same thing can still happen even if they are not armed.

    With conceal carry, now you have the exact same probability of being bashed by bigots as not being armed, but you now are more likely to be tried for murder or manslaughter, which the exact thing you’re using as argument against open carrying, so that doesn’t make sense.

    Chastise is probably not the right word, excuse me for my poor English vocab. You are telling them not to do something without providing an alternative that would also help them in the short term. That is, in some way, putting them in a corner.

    Also, its not them taking a risk, it’s them weighing the risk of being bashed with the risk of having to shoot a bigot.

    If they decide that the risk of someone trying to bash them is much lower while open carrying, obviously that means the risk of having to shoot them is also lower.
