So open carry warrants the death penalty?

What part of “if you point a gun at a cop you’re gonna get shot” are you having trouble understanding?

The “open carry should be legal” bit?
What part of “there is a huge difference in threat between someone open carrying a rifle by pointing it in a safe direction and generally keeping their hands off it vs pointing it AT someone during a tense standoff” are you having trouble understanding?

The “oh, but it wasn’t really a gun, it was a toy” bit?
What part of “what the kid had was indistinguishable from an AK47 short of a hands-on inspection” are you having trouble understanding?

The “oh, but he was just a 13 year old kid” bit?
What part of “teenagers who point illegal guns at cops are too likely to kill someone” are you having trouble understanding?

Sometimes the cops are right to shoot someone, even if it was a tragic misunderstanding and you hate cops.
