It's racist for the NRA to not support guns for Crips, gangbangers and convicted felons!

The Rev. Al Sharpton challenged the National Rifle Association to defend the gun rights of two black men killed in police encounters last week in Louisiana and Minnesota. The victims - Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, respectively - were carrying guns when they were approached by police officers and shot. Video of the incidents sparked protests around the country last week.
"Both of them were killed by police based on 'they had a gun,'" Sharpton said at his weekly rally in Harlem. "Now I missed the NRA coming out and defending the gun rights they legally had. Where is the NRA? Where is [NRA president] Wayne LaPierre now? Do you have a Second Amendment right or did you not get down, Mr. Pierre, to the 14th, 15th and 16th amendments? Maybe you mean the Second Amendment is for whites only."

It's racist for the NRA to not support guns for Crips, gangbangers and convicted felons!
Can Al Sharpton really be this inane???
Such a illegitimate argument, I’m speechless...
Only one was legally carrying a gun if I recall correctly. And for him, the NRA response may be normal, don’t know by example how they initial respond to others for comparison. If there is a difference based on race, as a lifetime member, would sure like to see that clarified and addressed.
This guy has the IQ of a turnip.
The NRA doesn’t support trying to pull your gun on cops.
Go figger!
Inanity is his middle name
A lying turd.
Now, there’s no call for you to be insulting turnips that way. :=)
:O)
YEP.....agree!
What?????
It has not been proven if he had the gun legally yet.
Al, you racist hydrocephalic, mental midget, it is has been already established that Alton Sterling was a convicted felon carrying a firearm and suspected of brandishing same.
The NRA will not support that.
The Philando Castile case is not so clear cut however, the NRA promotes responsible gun ownership, and if an officer detains you and tells you not to move because you are carrying a gun, the NRA does not advise anyone, regardless of skin color, to reach for the gun.
There is something intrinsically wrong with these people and it is incurable.
It is widely reported he at valid CCW permit. Is that now refuted?
NRA taught blacks in the south to use guns to defend themselves after slavery.
Sharpton is a racist and tax criminal.
It is not confirmed....Only the girl with him has claimed he had one...
Don’t mess with my turnips man.
"...but if I am only for myself, who am I?...."
Al "It's all about MEEEEEEEE" Sharpton.
Makes his considerable living using low IQ blacks as an on-demand protest force, and an easy mark for his particular brand of BS. Oh yes, and let's not forget his defrauding our government of millions of dollars of taxes on his ill-gotten gains.
In other words, a stinking con man who has wormed his way into the equally corrupt White Hut where he influences everyone by virtue of controlling the F___ Idiot in Chief.
Revrund Al must be thinking about the New Black Pampers.
