ou think you have gun rights? Go ahead and try to exercise them. Even in areas where open-carry is completely legal, if you exercise your rights, you are guaranteed to be hassled or even attacked by police. Go ahead and try it. Sling an empty rifle (you could even remove the bolt if you want) over your shoulder and walk to the grocery store for a loaf of bread. You’ll end up on the local evening news. You probably won’t even make it to the store. You’ll get maybe three blocks down the road before a bunch of rookie cops are screaming and pointing guns at you, foaming at the mouth and pissing themselves. You’ll end up wasting time and money in the courts just for doing something that’s totally legal and entirely within your rights as an American. Our nation is so awash in ignorance and fear, that nobody would bat an eye at this gross violation of the law and your rights. They would be glad that the cops swarmed you, relieved that they stopped you from buying your loaf of bread.

“HE HAD A GUN!! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT!?”
“Yeah, good thing the police showed up before he started shooting people.”

You are automatically a murderous psychopath in their minds, just for being seen with an entirely legal item in your possession. It doesn’t matter what the law says, ignorant cops, judges and juries will shaft you because of their completely warped and entirely incorrect presumptions. Having rights is great and everything, but what good are they if exercising them gets you accosted and dragged into the “justice” system?
