NAACP: NYPD Officer Executions ‘Show Need for Sensible Gun Control’
breitbart ^ | Dec. 21, 2014 | AWR Hawkins

On December 20 the NAACP Legal Fund issued a press release saying the execution of NYPD officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos show “the need for sensible gun control.”

According to the release, we need also “need to thoughtfully address untreated mental illness.”

One thing the NAACP Legal Fund’s release said we don’t need to do is to “suggest a causal link between between these killings and the recent protests and activism focused on the serious issue of police violence against unarmed African Americans.” They suggest that pushing such a “causal link” may escalate “an already tense state through rumor and conjecture.”

They're right, WE don't need to do that:

They said she was taking prescription meds..well, if she was taking these meds, and she knew the side effects, why the hell was she driving..people have to be responsible for their OWN actions..we live in a society where people are told over and over again that they are the victims, that they are not responsible for anything that they do wrong, and this kind of insanity is the outcome

The murderer was a felon multiple times and his possessing the gun was illegal. I am also assuming that he was carrying concealed illegally too.

The NAACP wants to make his illegal carry “more illegal.”

Brinsley had 15 prior arrests in Georgia for various offenses including assault, shoplifting, grand larceny and gun possession. He also has four arrests in Ohio for robbery and misdemeanor threat. He served two years in prison in Georgia for criminal possession of a weapons.

“NAACP: NYPD Officer Executions ‘Show Need for Sensible Gun Black Self Control’ Fixed headline.”

Perfect. Succinct and beyond debate. Hell, they can’t even manage “self-control” when the doors open to buy the latest sneakers.

That’s why criminals use the trunk of a car for sales in the alley...

When guns are outlawed, only hoopties will have guns.

I thought Maryland had extraordinary gun control laws. There could not be anyone in Maryland or coming out of Maryland with an illegal hand gun. Same for New York. It seems this is impossible that these two policemen in New York could have been shot. Yet they were. How do the liberals explain that?

If it was a private sale, then there’s no background check. Are you saying that you think there should be checks on private sales as well? Considering Margo Bronstein and the huge numbers of people whom are killed in car accidents annually, maybe there should be no more private sales of cars between individuals without expensive and intrusive Federal background checks.

Major city police and sheriffs have advised homeowners to arm themselves to protect same and families. That the police just cannot physically respond in time to prevent or stop danger. Black people have equal right to protect the selves as anybody else NAACP should be encouraging it’s members to acquire firearms and get home defense training. If naacp cared about its members, that is .

Just an attempt to redirect attention from the leadership
failures of Obama, Holder, De Blasio, et. at.

Something needs to be controlled, but it ain’t that.

> I would ask how someone with this criminal record was able to access a gun.
There are controls supposedly for that.

As former LEO I can tell you that’s complete BS. I can take an undercover minority officer into just about bad neighborhood and he can find a throwaway gun for the right price within the hour; for the right price of course.

Cast the blame for black violence everywhere but where it belongs, on violent blacks who can no longer coexist with with peaceful society.

How about sensible Negro control? Disarm them and get back to us, it's not Whites
killing Black or Dark skinned officers! We have no Sharpton in our world telling
us to kill Blacky. What we have is YOU (NAACP) and your cohorts drumming the
murder the Cops snare.

Gun control....oh yeah, that guy probably wouldn’t have been able to have a gun if only the law was stronger because he was a law abiding citizen and would have never violated a gun control law...
