Leave it to NBC fake news to come up with this garbage.

We all know why law-abiding blacks are arming themselves - against the criminal scum blacks.

Yeah, has nothing to do with black on black murders - accounting for 50-60% of all murders in USA.

It’s that vitriol, you see. The absence of proof of anti-black animus among the remainder of the population [beyond self-preservation] is inconsequential.

Once again you have the news media lying to us. Trying to have us think that black people need guns to protect themselves from White people. When in fact the truth is they need them to protect themselves from themselves.

This is the real reason massa’s trying to do away with the 2nd Amendment.

“It’s getting bad when someone specifically targets Black people to shoot”

Perhaps Mr. Moody should drop in to Chitown every weekend for a couple months.

The defund the police movement was what really caused gun purchases by black people to increase.

Take black on black murders out of the stats, the USA is as safe as Switzerland [with a machine gun in every home by law].

So under the theory that black people are mostly interested in their well-being like everyone else, are most often the victims of their racial underclass... they have decided to buy firearms?

Simply amazing (to racist reporters I guess).

“Folks are saying they don’t want to be out in public without a gun or they might end up like Ahmaud Arbery or Trayvon Martin or countless others who have been killed in the streets.

——————————————————————————

Not exactly good characters that should be used as examples of while colored people need guns. Both of these characters were responsible for their own deaths.

Mossberg 20 Gauge Semiautomatic Shotgun                                                                                          - view number 1

With a 4+1-round capacity, the Mossberg 20 Gauge Semiautomatic
Shotgun boasts a blued barrel, a synthetic stock and a rubber recoil
pad. Fiber-optic front and ghost ring rear sights. Pistol grip.
Includes a choke tube.

IMO, best for urban defense.

Let me guess:

1. Soros’ DAs decriminalizing crime and emptying prisons of criminals

2. Democrat mayors and governors defunding police

Sleazy bastard lying race-baiters.

Hardly any Blacks are killed by Whites in this nation.

Leave it to the MSM to find ONE story to tell, as opposed to
the literally thousands that could be told about Black on
Black or Black on White crime.

I support this guy buying a gun for himself, but enough of
the B. S., as if that was an everyday thing.

Nonsense!

Black men are the ones doing most of the murdering in America. Unfortunately most of their victims are other black men.

Law Enforcement reacts to crime. They come after the deed is done. If you want to prevent it, YOU need to take action and have the ability to defend yourself.

Law Enforcement is under no legal obligation to react. There may be a situations where bad shit is going down, and the cop may be hiding behind a car (Virginia Tech), waiting for SWAT to arrive... whatever.

There may be situations where Law Enforcement is over taxed or shut down, example NO LA with Katrina, or when the power went out in LA CA years past. Do you think if you lived in the areas where the riots were happening after Floyd, even if in no way a party to it all, that you would get help 50% of time if you called for it?

All this crap with little emergency call handles in parking lots of colleges etc. is BS. It makes some jackass pretend like he did something (that's what leadership is in America, showing action, even if it's retarded), but in reality he just threw away a lot of good money on an idea that is worthless in 90% of the situations. All that is good for is to tell the cops you've been stabbed 12 times and are bleeding out all over your clothes.

This is really just an issue of ones mentality. Those that are week, the sheep, they gravitate towards the idea of “others” protecting them. The sheep dog, the strong, they would rather have the means to defend themselves from the big bad wolf. It really is just that simple.

The problem is that today, the sheep want to tell the sheep dogs that they are bad and that they too need to be more sheepish. Sheepish is good, and anything that is football, MMA, boxing, guns, even knives or real knowledge about tactics etc. is baaa’aaad.

No one kept them from having firearms before.

No, they’re using them against criminal scum in their neighborhoods and against tyranny. In 2020 and 2021 when I went with new gun owners to get guns, most people waiting in line were black, Asian and women. These lines were 6 hours long so we had plenty of time to talk. They’re like you and me and they simply are buying guns to protect against radicals and scum on every level of society.

I do agree, the article is BS propaganda making it seem that @evil whites are arming for a war against blacks”. That’s more media decisive BS
