Apart from the "why do you need it" question, the beach is specifically a place people often leave items that can't be taken in the water unattended. Sure, legislators can write laws about how a gun must not be left unattended and gun nuts can swear up and down about how they would never do that, but they will. No matter how much you think "there's a lot of people around" or "I'll just be in and out" or "I'll watch my stuff from the water", thefts happen, and now a mundane occurrence has turned a supposedly (not really) "safe" and "legal" gun into one of those dangerous "illegal" guns they can't be held responsible for.

We were perfectly happy with our gun laws, and they worked, and now fringe nutcases and a politically captured courts are telling us we can't implement common sense restrictions because the nuts have a panic attack if they're not constantly armed.

What happened to respecting states rights? So sick of the judicial branch in the US, the most untethered and corrupt branch of them all. Which is saying a lot considering the state of the legislative branch.

How big of a coward do you have to be to feel the need to bring a gun to the beach?

Can I carry one into the court where the justices meet? Or is safety just something the "little people" need to work about?

Another awful law 6 years in the making, all thanks to people being too lazy to go out and vote.

We are going to be feeling the repercussions of that laziness for decades to come.

In today's world, we can still see the results of Reaganomics and the terrible Reagan administration and what it did to this country some 4 decades later. Allowing Trump to enter the White House 6 years ago has, and will, continue to have a similar profound negative effect on the trajectory of this country for a long, long time.

You guys sure showed us!

Why do they defend so hard for like the one weird out of 1000 who openly waves a gun around that makes everyone extremely uncomfortable. People around open carriers don't think "wow freedom!", they get super fucking uncomfortable.

Why the fuck does anyone need a gun on the beach? I can’t think of one justifiable argument for needing one there.

Damn, the US annexation of Hawai'i continues to hurt their nation :-(

I hope one day they can win their freedom back.

If they can't ban guns, they should ban conservatives instead. Problem solved.

Friendly Reminder: It is perfectly legal to discriminate based on political affiliation. Do your part to help fight conservatism by excluding conservatives in your daily life. It is not appropriate to conduct business or keep relationships with such people.

Oh yeah, well what about MY freedom to go to a beach and not be worried about getting fucking SHOT? Why do THEY get all these rights and freedoms while WE have to suffer the consequences? I don't fucking get it. What about our rights to not get shot?

USA: Has major gun violence problem.

US legal system: yEw cANt tAYKE thUR fReeDUMB

"Who needs guns on the beach"

I'm trans. Id sooner never go. But if I had to, with the way things are going, you bet your ass I am afraid and would rather be armed

That Supreme Court case was a ridiculous rewriting of historical facts.
