There was a time when Parker never would have been ready. During a long career as a nursing aide she had cared for countless shooting victims. Like many Black women in Southeast Washington or just across the D.C. border in Prince George's County, she'd viewed guns for most of her life as the root of the violence that had wrecked countless lives in her community.
That changed, paradoxically, after her son was shot to death in a parking lot not far from her home. Exasperated with the police response and in despair over the sheer number of weapons on the streets, Parker decided there was only one way to protect what remained of her family. And that was to pick up a gun herself.
"I always felt like you needed to take the guns off the street. But the way things are now . . ." Parker's voice trailed off.
"I don't feel safe anymore," she said. "You can't trust nobody."

I do not know if this is a good sign or a bad sign.
If the author thinks that American women who live in the city hate guns, he is wildly mistaken.
How about embracing a change in voting habits?
Didn’t think so
As long as they don’t carry while going through McDonalds, because God knows what will happen if they’re accidentally given a packet of ranch with their order, rather than honey mustard.
Woopie Walrus hides a gun under that bedspread
After Reconstruction, Democrats in the South enacted gun control laws to keep their former slaves from defending themselves against Democrats.
That’s why you don’t see them trying to ban hand guns any more. Too many of them in leftist women’s purses.
Yes they are using them in their crimes now.
If enough people of color still voted reliably ‘Rat, Deep State wouldn’t have to steal elections, would it.
More guns, less crime.
This is a win.
Plus they know when it comes time to confiscate guns, they will only get them from law-abiding white people.
My wife taught her son and daughter to be afraid of guns befor I met her (they were 10 and 12 when we met). Now we live in the country and she has 2 guns of her own (I have a lot more). Her kids are afraid to visit us because we won’t lock up our guns.
If enough people of color didn’t vote reliably ‘Rat, then the Deep State wouldn’t be able to steal elections.
“I do not know if this is a good sign or a bad sign.”
both really ... bad that the dems have fostered this level of unchecked crime ... good that prospective victims are arming themselves to fight back ...
the best chance we have of preventing the fascists from disarming us is for all strata of society, regardless of race, creed, religion, gender, age, politics and socioeconomic status to arm themselves for self-defense ...
Show us some pics of them hugging Black Rifles.
Please?
Did they really hate guns, or that is what we were told?
