I'm sensing a pattern here.
1. Republicans promote gun ownership and open carry due to allegations of high crime rates.
2. They hire trigger happy cops.
3. People fear the crime and violent cops so they start carrying guns.
4. Police shoot civilians carrying guns.
5. Republicans fear monger high crime rates which need to be solved.
Repeat steps 1-5 above.
