This is entirely about who gets killed or who could be killed. It was legal to openly bear arms in in California until the Black Panthers exercised that right.

This is entirely about who gets killed or who could be killed. It was legal to openly bear arms in in California until the Black Panthers exercised that right. Ronald Reagan quickly signed a bill into law making it illegal after protesters peacefully marched through the Capitol Building bearing arms [1]. There is currently a petition to allow open-carry at the GOP convention, which many Republicans have said will not be allowed no matter how many signatures it gets [2]. The CDC has been restricted from researching gun violence as a public health issue for 20 years [3]. Take a guess as to what party is enforcing this restriction.
