100,000,000 plus people live in open carry jurisdiction. That picture is silly. Lots of silly stuff on the internet. I am not an idiot, so my attention is drawn more to Amnesty International issuing a travel advisory to USA as opposed to a silly picture on the internet.
Feel free to also post silly pictures of puppies with machine guns.
Your first point is just an anecdote. "100,000,000 plus people live in open carry jurisdiction." And? Where is the end of your story?
Here is one possible ending:
100,000,000 plus people live in open carry jurisdiction. Did you know that a 1% increase in gun ownership in an area in the US correlates to a 1.1% increase in firearm death and a 0.7% increase in overall homicide rate, other factors being controlled for(poverty, race, etc)? Thoughts and prayers for those 100,000,000, right?
