South Carolina Tyrants Self Identify

An ordinance restricting the open carry of firearms passed its first reading with the Anderson City Council on Monday night.
The ordinance would prohibit residents from openly carrying firearms during events that take place on public property. These events include protests, according to the officials.
The background for the ordinance states, “While the City recognizes and appreciates the First and Second Amendment rights of its citizens and visitors, the presence of firearms at protests can serve to escalate tensions.”
The council will discuss the amendment again before it becomes a part of the law.
There’s always an excuse, isn’t there?
“While the City recognizes and appreciates the First and Second Amendment rights of its citizens …” No, of course it doesn’t. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be debating the prohibition of open carry at events. They always have to declare their support for your rights while they refuse to recognized them, don’t they?
As for the reason – “the presence of firearms at protests can serve to escalate tensions?” They don’t believe that, otherwise they would be trying to ban concealed carry, because there is no difference between concealed and open carry except for the fact that the firearm can be seen with open carry. The reality of the firearm is still there.
The good thing about the declaration of tyranny among the cities (Spartanburg, Greenville, Charleston, Columbia, and now Anderson have made it clear they intend to ban open carry) is that the tyrants self identify.
That’s good. It gives patriots information on who to cast out of office next.

Well, you need a license to protest so…

This is true ONLY if you get tense when your neighbor bears his arms. You’re probably comfortable bearing your own arms, or perhaps your hired goons bearing arms on your behalf.

I’m guessing that South Carolina doesn’t have statewide preemption?
