Open carry for my, but not for thee.
This is like a few months ago, when a gun rights advocate realized that "every body having the right of having guns" also included LGTB and they all lost their shared braincell.
Ronald Reagan and the Repubs when black people are holding firearms.

Shithead Tucker Carlson did a piece a while ago fear mongering that militant trans people were arming themselves and that they should not be allowed to.
Conservatives when someone says people should have to go through a psychological examination and be proven to be mentally well to get a gun: 😡
Conservatives when trans people have guns: "Th-they're mentally ill! They shouldn't have guns since they aren't psychologically fit!"
I think it's cuz they realize constantly having fantasies of someone doing wrong that justifies you to shoot them and being extremely narcissistic, irrationally hateful towards certain groups, and paranoid makes them unfit to handle a weapon.
That being said, I like oppressed groups being able to arm themselves, and I don't trust the conservatives who have run where I live for centuries to enforce gun laws equally, so I prefer to keep my way-too-lenient gun laws... since I'm moving to a large urban area soon though, the only thing I'll need a rifle to defend against is the landlord
That's because they're into guns, not the right to self defense.
