"I'm a firm believer that if you have guns in your house, an educated mind is far greater than a wondering mind."

Home schooling? -————— Fine. That’s his right as a parent.

Training his kids on how to use guns? -——— Fine. That’s his right as a parent.

Black Panther Movement? -—————— That’s where he lost me.

Giving a child power and control, along with instructing on clear responsibility, is the best education technique I can think of

I was home schooled and firearm safety was part of it. Had my first .22 at the age of six or seven, a single shot and you had to pull the safety for each shot.

Nothing new here. I was taught to shoot at age 4 in 1950. My daughter won a BB gun match at age 7 shooting against up to 12 year olds male and female. Still shoot competition matches and carry as does my son.

I applaud this man. My kids were handling firearms at age 5. Supervised of course. Great way to help an education. Mass, Velocity,Acceleration,Impact,Chemistry,Thermal Expansion,Friction, etc. So many scientific based conversation and teaching opportunities are possible on how they operate.

“Derrick is open about his troubled upbringing, where, despite coming from a family with a strong history in law enforcement, his day-to-day life involved breaking into houses and cars, and generally rebelling against a school system he felt neglected his particular talents.”

His particular talents for breaking into houses and cars?

Now if they'd just hang some of the bad guys, we'd be right back to Western Justice. I remember hearing that women should be able to vote cuz too many men were getting away with crimes.

Some things don't change.

Failure to teach children gun safety is negligence, IMO.

‘It’s built on four elements: self-love, self-education, self-awareness, and self-reliance. I think those are key to live a mentally free and fruitful life,’ he explained.

Can’t fault that belief.

The Daily Mail is written by British EUNUCHS. No surprise to see linguine-spined squishes upset over guns.

Good for him. We homeschooled our two, and YES, shooting lessons began at age 5 and continue to the present day (oldest is almost 26).

Teaching a kid about cryptocurrency is just about illegal in some way, I’m sure.

It’s a banking system cloaked in secrecy so that only a few can take full advantage of it. Like understanding the primary currency, the Federal Reserve Banking system and it’s relationship with the US Treasure Department. You know, banking.

He is absolutely correct, and this Freeper will side with him on this, that the schools in his black neighborhoods and area in general (Public, mostly) will give his black kids a disadvantage. They will be taught just enough to operate some machinery, just enough to get something to pay some kind of tax (Or play lottery.. the tax on the poor).

When his mind is opened to the idea that he was doomed from the start by both his own kind (completely saturated in the system) and by the democrat-led system to basically hobble his mind and prevent him from getting “too uppity” I’m sure his intent was to get him and his kids involved in a group or experience that shared this notion, and offered a way out.

The Black Panthers.

Remember the Panthers didn’t just coalesce into the world. It wasn’t just blinked into existence. While you may not like their stances, methods and techniques it would be foolish to think they are a 2-dimension poster hanging on a wall.

The Panthers have a tendency to remove blacks from society (DUH) and make a sub-culture where the black skin color is placed at the top (Double DUH). Panthers are not looking for equality, they are looking for Supremacy.

Why is this ? Why was MLK’s movement seeking equality and peace, but the Panthers were looking for supremacy ? That didn’t just “happen”. It was carved out, engineered and designed around a basic principal that ANY black family who decides the educational system is destroying their kids...

And that principal is that ANY black family is being destroyed by an educational system that is destroying their kids.

These two parties will snap together like two rare-earth magnets thrown in the air from your hand.

Now what I’m interested in is what kind of music his kids listen to, what they watch on TV and how they speak.

How absolutely awful for British readers of dailymail.co.UK! They should be offered therapy after being exposed to such traumatizing information.

I taught my boys how to use guns the right way. There is no way that I would put an UZI machine gun in the hands of a 6 year old. Wasn’t there someone who did that a few years ago that got killed?

I wonder if most Brits bear in mind that our population is about 6 times theirs, and that some places in the U.S.A. are very different from other places. Most of the places preferred for visits by most Europeans are the most dangerous, crowded places full of counter-culture people who voted for Hillary (coasts, deserts, mountains, etc.).

The UZI looks like it has a .22 LR hole in the end, but it’s hard to tell for sure. As for the Panthers, the author or authors didn’t tell as to which side Derrick is on.
