3 Reasons Black People Should Never Support Gun Control

Given America’s history with slavery, black people should be the biggest advocates for the Second Amendment. Guns equal freedom!

Despite the mantra from the left, there’s no such thing as an “assault rifle.” It’s a term they invented to make guns sound scary, and it works. I prefer to call semi-automatic rifles, such as the AR-15 by their proper names: “anti-dictator rifles,” “self-defense rifles” and sporting rifles. They’re available for purchase to all law-abiding citizens of age, as they should be. Blacks should be skeptical of any smooth-talking politician that claims he or she wants to keep us “safe” by confiscating guns or banning so-called “assault weapons.” Guns have the last say in determining a free society from an enslaved one. That’s why the Second Amendment is so important.

Democrats have been selling gun control in the black community as long as I can remember. They play on our fears because they want to control us.

Let's simplify it Carl. NO "Americans" should support gun control. Ever. Period. EOFS!

I actually see a growing strain of thought among the Woke Left that regards gun control is an attempt by the “White Supremacist State” to control minorities.

Let's ask the Indians how that worked out.

Let's ask the Jews in Nazi Germany how that worked out.

Perhaps we could get Lebron to ask the Chinese in Hong Kong how that's working out.

“anti-dictator rifles”

I like it.

The Founding Fathers had politicians like Beto (aspiring dictator tyrant) in mind when they wrote the 2nd Amendment.

No, you idiot. Assault rifles are a very real thing. It's "assault weapons" that is the made up term.

If you're going to be the voice of reason and correct no-nothing leftist errors, make sure you know what you're talking about.

Liberals.

democRATs.

Communists.

In reality, they are the same power hungry, racist “masters” who see themselves as being entitled to run herd over those who they deem to be inferior. They prefer their serfs and slaves to be unarmed.

FACT.

I have to disagree, at least in the near-term.

Current attacks on gun ownership don't target blacks, gang-bangers and thugs. They're aimed at the soft targets now - homeowners, housewives, single women, business owners - who would be much less likely to shoot LEO's who show up at their doors.

They'll sweep the 'hood later...

Not coincidentally, the labor union movement began after the end of the Civil War for exactly the same reason of protecting white democrats.

I’ve always like the way one of Raj’s girlfriends said it.

‘Us’ Indians or ‘Come to our Casino’ Indians.
