Black people of all people should be advocates for gun rights.
Do you know why the NRA was started?
Have you seen the property crime statistics of an armed citizenry? There's a correlation between crime and armed citizenry. It being the more people are armed, the less crime. The numbers prove this.
The government is not there to protect you and tell you what to do. You are responsible for that and within your communities. Taking away weapons or making it more difficult for law abiding citizens does absolutely nothing to solve the problem and when things like this start, they end with citizens unarmed.
I do not buy any of that bullshit.
And again, SENSIBLE gun control laws do not mean that you cannot have a gun in your home should you choose.
Yes, I know why the NRA was created. I know more about the conditions behind the initial gun control laws of the 1960s than you do.
The government is
indeed there to protect you. What is the military for? lol
The LESS people are armed, the fewer homicides are committed. The statistics prove this. Look at the homicide rate in many European countries or in places such as Japan.
