Black People Must Embrace the Second Amendment [Op-Ed]

It's not 'cowardly' to exit a scene in which one is clearly outnumbered, and even being 'armed' goes against all common sense when the deck is clearly stacked against you. Another REALLY stupid post on your part.

If there are several hundred unarmed people outside my door and I have a self-loading rifle and several hundred rounds of ammunition, I have the advantage.

I don't know if inciting people to take up arms is the right thing to do, even if the implication is veiled in concern.

It should be up to the individual business owners how far they are willing to go, same in all cases of self defense of self or property. I know what my choice would be but others would have search their own souls to what levels they would go.

It is not encouraging violence it is self defense from those already proven to be violent. Let's just say I have Never started a fight I my life, but I have never run from a threat and I have ended a few attempts in a very harsh manner. I make no apologies for self defence or defending others, some can and some can't, I understand that.

This is why it's almost impossible to debate leftists - you simply can't or won't follow an argument if you disagree with the conclusion.

Me: Don't you think Trump would win the election if 90% of the country were Republican?

You: Only 30% are Republicans, so no.

So basically, you are bitching and whining because others want to debate the world as it is, and you want to create a fantasy alternate reality.

So, you have no clue. That's what I thought.

You thought incorrectly, which comes a surprise to no one, as you've repeatedly displayed just how flawed your thinking processes are.

That is not entirely truthful-just as many white Democrats supported that Mulford Act and that was about the last time White Republicans were in favor of gun control laws. White Democrats are responsible for EVERY federal gun restriction on the books.

From WIKI

It passed the Assembly (controlled by Democrats 42:38) at subsequent readings, passed the Senate (controlled by Democrats, 21:19) on July 26th by 29 votes to 7[7], and was signed by Governor Ronald Reagan on July 28th, 1967. The law banned the carrying of loaded weapons in public. [8]

You've tried making that lame excuse time and time again and NO ONE believes it, especially when they overhear Reagan's calls where he reveals his true feelings about black folks.


“Last night, I tell you, to watch that thing on television as I did,” Reagan said. “Yeah,” Nixon interjected. Reagan forged ahead with his complaint: “To see those, those monkeys from those African countries—damn them, they’re still uncomfortable wearing shoes!”

Well, I guess Governor Reagan felt secure in voicing his "concerns" about black people, now that "those monkeys" couldn't arm themselves anymore.
Nice try, TD but you failed again.
Go back to the gun forum, maybe they'll believe you there!

I'm sure your comments were just as clueless then as they are now.

You''ll never know until/unless you actually read them. ( fact) What we do know is your original claim was an asinine claim to make.

If you want to whine about Reagan and his actions over 50 years ago, we can start talking about Democrats passing Jim Crow Laws, supporting the Klan and lynching and so forth

or we can talk about current events where the gun banning side is almost always Democrats.

I go to gun shows, shooting ranges, and shooting events all the time around my area. There are almost as many minorities attending gun shows, and range practice facilities as whites.

Minorities buy firearms for the same reason as whites.

Why does it need to be a race issue?
Click to expand...

There are fewer minority gun owners because there are more minorities who live in gun restricted areas.

And your evidence for that wild claim ?
Click to expand...

I see reading comprehension is not your strong point. I made no claim, I posted an opinion. For future reference, when people start with "in my opinion" they are posting an "opinion".

Why I have that opinion is simple. I was raised in a mixed race neighborhood. Nearly every black tough in that neighborhood had a gun in his pocket. Very few of the whites carried guns. Second, if you look at gun crime statistics you will find black men are the main contributors in every one of them. When 7% of the population commit over 50% of the gun crimes it is obvious they have access to guns. Third, black people don't trust cops. They know that most of the time the problem is over before the cops arrive. When you live in a high crime neighborhood you learn to protect yourself.

Are they? Why don't you make a pilgrimage to one of these hot spots and test your theory? See how that works out for you. Are you actually so devoid of common sense you truly think one, or a few armed business owners is going deter the masses from the senseless looting and rioting? Tell us how many looters/rioters are needed to take down an armed business owner or three, before the ammo runs out, or the armed business owner(s) otherwise end up on the short end of the stick.

Are you stupid enough to think that looters are going to die for a pair of shoes or bag of pretzels? Do you really think they will attack in waves until they can overcome an armed guard? I can see it now, hey we lost 30 guys but look at all the potato chips we got. Clue for you. Looting is a crime of opportunity. They bust a window and grab what they can. They are not going to face down armed guards.

A little heads up for you Bobby. In case you've missed it, we've seen protesters/looters/rioters 'facing down armed guards' for four nights in a row. Care to share your accredited credentials as to what makes you an expert as to the mindset of how far these criminals will go to get what they want? You are aware that these looters are most likely aware they are being subject to being on the losing end of a lethal weapon as soon as they transgress the businesses, are you not? I'll eagerly await those credentials, but certainly won't hold my breath awaiting you to present them.

Sure, if you say so. Mass kamikaze charges all over the place. Show the evidence that looters have charged armed guards. Try again, you lose.

Will do. Right after you prove your claim looters aren't willing to risk their lives for material posessions.

I never said that. There are plenty of unguarded stores to pick from. I do see that one guy pressed his luck with an armed pawn shop owner. He is lying in a puddle of blood on the sidewalk. Seems none of his buds hung around to press the issue. So much for your mass attack theory.
