Is firing a gun right a right brain or left brain function?

How is this any less outrageous a suggestion than that black people shouldn't be allowed to have guns?

Because legal gun owners are just bitter people clinging to their guns, while to suggest that only blacks can't have guns is racist. At least I think I understood the liberal ideology there, correct me if I'm wrong.

Gun control was started by slave owners who wanted to make sure that slaves couldn’t own guns. After the Civil War, gun control was used as a means to disarm freed slaves and make them helpless victims of the KKK. Now, the Democrats, who are the ones who started gun control, don’t trust anyone with a gun because they know that an armed populace will never accept socialism.

then why not ban African-American residents of the city from owning handguns?

Yeah, just ban guns and the killing will stop. That makes so much sense that I can't understand why somebody hasn't thought of it before! (sarc)

Were you born a gun owner? Gun ownership is something you choose, not something you’re stuck with.

Not that I buy that argument, but I could see it being used as a rebuttal. For the record, my son was born a gun owner, but since he’s only 3, I still hold on to them for him.

Yes.

What would Rev Wright say?

"Kill the white people,
But buy my CDs first."

Re: ABOUT 90 percent of the people shot in the city last year were African-American. While figures are unavailable, it is assumed by most that close to 100 percent of the perpetrators of these shootings were African-American.

Well, as Rev Wright would say, "Back off, honky! It is a Black Thing!"

Philly ignorance on display again....All blacks (and whites) in Chicago have had their guns banned already. However, the race card allows all blacks to carry (ie, laws don’t apply, because they are assumed loyal supporters of the Dem machine).

Yet, it's deemed perfectly acceptable to discriminate against one particular group - gun owners law abiding citizens.

There is the real discrimination. Law abiding citizens are stripped of a fundamental human right, the right to life, by denying the right to self defense, based on the actions of criminals. Is that fair? Is it rational? Will it protect anyone at all other than criminals?

[CRBDeuce]

To judge an entire group as a problem and punish all members of that group, irrespective of their individual actions, is unconscionable. Yet, it's deemed perfectly acceptable to discriminate against one particular group - gun owners. Or is 'gun ownership' just one litmus test for 'conservative' and the perfectly acceptable discrimination is against all 'conservatives'! any liberal gun owners see that as a possibility? are you a closet conservative?

Great letter. Mr. Wolfington makes his point very well.
