'Accuracy matters': Charles C.W. Cooke educates @MomsDemand founder and Sally Kohn on 'open carry'

Shannon Watts, founder of the anti-gun group “Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America,” posted this tweet this morning asking if  the “open carry” of firearms is legal in Ohio, then why were John Crawford and Tamir Rice shot by police for “open carrying toys”?

But we’re not exactly sure what Kohn is thankful for. Is it that Cooked said he sometimes opposes the NRA or is it the more important part of this whole exchange where Cooke points out the false equivalency in the original tweet?

This is a pretty good example of a reasoned, sober debate that can be had on Twitter …  but it remains to be seen if Cooke really changed anyone’s mind.
