Calling this a moral problem is ok as far as it goes. But it's really an unprecedented political problem. Forty-five or more states allow open-carry, most of them without any restrictions. Given that even the least restrictive gun control proposals - like background checks - fail, there is little chance a movement to ban open-carry would succeed. The country has crossed the Rubicon. Former fringe militias and supremasts have been legitimized. The BLM is spontaneous and its organizers young, inexperienced and obviously untrained in how spot provocateurs and outliers who could make trouble. The violence after peaceful rallies was a disservice to the cause. This is not the innocent '6Os. The political situation in which a President calls torch-bearing anti-semites 'good people' and armed militias show up to intimidate is unprecedented and demands a more sophisticated approach from the left-of-center The jury came to a verdict looking through the 'fog of war' as if hand to hand combat at an anti-police abuse rally were normal. That's deep. Maybe everyone will take a break to think things over in contest of American progress, but there will be worse "Kenoshas" before today's political passions recede.
