How Democrats keep guns in the hands of the rich
Chicago Tribune ^ | August 7, 2017 | John R. Lott, Jr.

When it comes to voting rights, any obstacles outrage liberals; even free government-issued IDs are viewed as disenfranchising poor and disproportionately black people. But when it comes to the right to own a gun for self-defense, liberals don't hesitate to pile on fees, ID requirements, expensive training and onerous background checks.

That's too bad, because many law-abiding citizens in crime-ridden neighborhoods really do need a gun for self-defense. Since poor, urban blacks are the most likely victims of violent crime, there is little doubt that they stand to benefit the most from owning guns. Research, including my own, has demonstrated this.

Hmmm??? Seems the “poor” in “gun-free” long-time big DemWit run cities are armed to the teeth! They have free fire zones known as the “inner city” where the “poor” (HUGE concern of “compassionate” white Liberals) regularly practice the fine art of “gun violence” on each other! And the Democrat voter body counts are reported daily like sports box scores.

Though now dead thru the dreaded “gun violence”... they are often known to still vote come November. #LiberalUtopia
