I don't think a right to carry around guns in the open is an important freedom to have in society and I think consequences for society as a whole would be better if that freedom was removed. It just seems bat**** crazy to me that anyone would think otherwise.
I've lived in a place where people, myself included, walked around with guns so I'm no stranger to them. We were required to keep them under wraps or shown to be harmless; like if I didn't have my gun bag, I would at least take the bolt out of my bolt-action rifle and hang it on my back. Ammunition was typically kept in a rucksack and if you went into a store or something, you'd leave it all in a locker. The idea of walking around with them open like that is repulsive to me - and it's not even hunting weapons. The guns in those pictures/videos are guns made for use against people. What sort of message does that send? Abominable.
