From the article, “Erich Pratt, the senior vice president of Gun Owners of America, said the laws “don’t work,” citing back-to-back mass shootings in November in Colorado, which adopted a red flag law in 2019, and Virginia, which did so in 2020.”This is absurd. That is anecdotal.  You must look at aggregate numbers.  For example the largest state in the union is California and 7th from the bottom in gun violence.  It’s not about just stopping mass shooters.  It’s also about keeping guns out of enraged people that simply kill family, friends and anyone around them.The state with the strictest gun laws is Hawaii and they violence is the lowest.  It also majorly helps to be an island.  Also rural red lives on private property.  A person brandishing open carry can be removed by then easily simply with trespassing.  And they don’t care that the rest of us share public property they don’t have.  They force their idiotic gun fetish on us all putting our lives at risk.You can read about it at the Atlantic.<a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/09/the-origins-of-public-carry-jurisprudence-in-the-slave-south/407809" target="_blank">https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/09/the-origins-of-public-carry-jurisprudence-in-the-slave-south/407809</a>/
