i want to know if i can call the cops if i see people carrying guns in this way.
if you know how to dial a phone, you can call them, but that doesn't mean they'll do shit about it. the nra has lobbied through quite a few "open carry" laws in a large number of states, including sidearms (e.g. idiots), not just long arms (e.g. hunters).

A new father is dead after what appeared to be a bizarre, accidental shooting Tuesday night.Steven Justin Ayers, 33, and his wife had gathered family members to celebrate the homecoming of their 3-day-old baby — born on Father’s Day. But the celebration at 2502 Michigan Court ended shortly after 6 p.m. when a stray bullet entered the home from more than 200 feet away, struck Ayers in the back of the head and killed him instantly.Moments earlier, Charles Edward Shisler, 62, had picked up a loaded 9mm pistol in his residence, adjacent to the Ayers’ home, and the gun discharged. Shisler was in his backyard at 3708 W. 25th St. by the time Bay County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrived minutes after the shooting, according to arrest reports.Shisler was initially uncooperative with deputies and “extremely belligerent,” according to arrest reports. While in custody, waiving his right to remain silent, Shisler told officers the shooting was accidental.“The damn gun doesn’t usually shoot,” Shisler’s arrest report quoted him as saying. “You have to squeeze the hell out of the trigger to shoot it.”

Missouri School Districts Start Training Teachers To Carry Concealed Weapons In Classroom
For a $17,500 fee, districts that opt in to the 40-hour program receive training for two staffers from current law enforcement officers through the Shield Solutions training school. Teachers are required to spend five hours in a classroom and 35 hours on the range with the required firearm, a Glock 19 semi-automatic pistol. Ten districts have undergone the training thus far, with three more having signed contracts and even more in negotiations, according to The Kansas City Star.

One argument recently favored by the pro-gun media and lobbyists is that gun control is inherently racist, because poor blacks need free access to guns to protect themselves and their families from inner city violence. The USA is kinda fucked up.

fuck man, everyone here seems to have mistaken guns for their goddamn lungs or something, it is completely impossible to float the idea that they are hurting people. everyone is apparently in chains unless they own a gun, such is the pathology of us culture. they are all in chains but a stick isnt going to help w that.

Danas questioned why the instructor in Arizona was standing immediately to the left of the Uzi, which would have recoiled in that direction.
"It's an awful shame," he said. "He shouldn't have been to the left side of the gun... But that child should not have been shooting anything other than a single-shot firearm."
Danas, whose daughters are 11 and 13, said his girls learned to shoot when they were 4 years old, with a single-shot, .22-caliber pistol.
