MODERATORS
If you can be shot and killed for possession of a gun then we don't have the second amendment right to a gun.
We need to address this. Because our second amendment rights are being violated especially if you are black.
The far right keep telling us we have this right any time we try pass any type of guy law. Yet cops kill people with guns and even with toy guns or no.
When do we get the right to defend ourselves from these thugs?
The 2nd amendment is a farce and the US would be a much better place if it were abolished.
While there is much to debate about the 2nd amendment, so long as we continue to claim we have one, possession of a gun alone makes no sense as justification to shoot somebody.
Either we have a second amendment or we don't. We don't have one if every person with a gun is immediately fair game for execution by police.
Possessing a gun, and brandishing a gun are very different.
I’m not here to defend the cop or 2A (neither should exist in there current form), but the kid was brandishing, which is super dangerous with both real and real looking guns.
I think everyone here would agree with you however whether the second amendment should be abolished or not is not the subject of conversation.
This person does have a second amendment right to carry a firearm.
You should not be able to shoot someone for exercising their right to carry a firearm.
