“...….My sense of security did not come from the Pittsburgh police, or from the law. My sense of security came from my father, and his gun.”
One thing about having a gun in your home for protection is that it is the great "equalizer" - in theory, at least (you have to know how to use it). If someone breaks in, intending to harm me or my family, I at least have a chance to defend them. Take away my equalizer and we become easy targets for anyone with a gun or a knife, or a crowbar, or a ... to do whatever they broke in to do. In all the talk about registering guns, they have yet to figure out how to get the criminals who have them to obey the law. The fact that criminals HAVE guns is illegal but it doesn't seem to stop them! For some strange reason, the gun grabbing liberals never seem to have an answer for that.
“Blacks should put their politics aside ...”
Yeah, they should but won’t as long as their ‘lord & savior’ is promising them pie in the sky here and now. With all the talk from their ministers & preachers, and the brave talk in this article, last month the talk walked and ‘social justice’—and all that socialism entails, ‘Protect us from the bad mens!” (and our sons)—what black people voted for was more of the same, including a gun-grabbing statist and socialist. So, nevermind the bollocks: May your chains rest lightly on you, once again, black folks.
obama will never get guns away from inner city blacks
Anymore, I believe gun control is like marijuana control. You can have all the laws you want, but they are vacated by popular action.
The majority of black people in this country just do what they’re told, ironically, by the same political party that supported slavery.
They won't. They'll talk about it for a while, and then, "Hey, a squirrel!!!" and it will be forgotten.
"So here is the important question: What are the chances of a black person of voting age in St. Louis having at least one relative with a criminal record? Assume we define ‘relative’ broadly, to include the young men who father the children of our female relatives, whether married to them or not." He sat there waiting for my answer.
At one time I worked in a gun store. Some of our best customers were older black men who came from parts of town where civilization had collapsed. They worked for many years to pay off a mortgage, only to spend their golden years trapped in their own homes by gang-bangers.
Some folks just have to follow the narrative...either they can’t think for themselves or are afraid of the consequences of doing so...

...coming soon to a health care facility near you. Proper thinking enforced by myriads of loyal negro gatekeepers and homeland security that can read your posts and emails.
We protect what we value. Banks, life insurance, auto and property insurance, elected officials, etc.
We are in danger of being compared to the maniacal “palestinians,” who, according to one description, will never achieve peace as long as they hate Israel more than they love their children.
It appears some Americans hate guns more than they love their children.
Reagan once said you can’t reason somebody out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into. Blacks will vote for blacks even if evidence and logic shows they’ll lose as a result. Tribalism trumps everything else.
