Black American Gun Ownership Surging

[CaseHardened]

I have said this time and time again - LAW ABIDING BLACKS - the vast majority - MUST be able to legally own firearms so as to protect themselves from the criminals in their midst.

Apparently many agree.

Black American Firearm Ownership Surging amid Nationwide Run on Guns

This thread in itself is racists. Stop the labels. Stop using a color of people to talk about issues. This is one of Americas largest problems.

All we have are labels.

Disagree.

The persistent denial of this fundamental Civil Right to Black Americans by modern Democrat Slavemasters is unconscionable.

I truly believe that the endless murders in Chicago and Baltimore would be throttled if the typical lawful Black Citizen were legally allowed to defend themselves and their family.

Why not simply try it ?

Can the situation become any worse ?

Where is your proof or your evidence that they cannot own guns because of the color of their skin?

You have none, only talking points.

Show us the stats, show us the proof. So real evidence.

Please - neither you nor I are fools.

The BLACKER the City, the more DEMOCRAT the City, the more obstacles there are to owning Firearms legally.

Yes, there are no laws in NYC, Chicago, St Louis, Boston, DC, that specifically target Blacks as unworthy. Everyone suffers.

But the Democrats in charge recognize reality. They wish to keep POC on the plantation - dependent.

The moment I received my Mass License To Carry, I viewed it as so precious, that I immediately began acting as a more lawful individual.

I daresay Lawful Firearm Owners across the entire country act MORE lawfully because of their desperation to retain their rights.

We've tried many "solutions". Why not try this one ?

You have a point there. Other than the south because for the most part it’s a Republican , stronghold, anywhere that has a heavy black population, guns are difficult to obtain.

I have no evidence but I believe it was Mark Dice on youtube who hasca video where he goes into the inner city in a couple areas to talk to people.
The first crazy thing was Mark talking to an 8 year old kid. Mark asked the kid what he wanted to do when he grew up. The kid says, "I dont know, but I cant wait until im 18 so I can get my checks". Meaning his welfare checks.....very sad.
But, Mark also ytalked to a bunch of 18-30 year old black guys playing basketball. I think it wss in Chicago and Philadelphia......
He asked them about the crime in the area and what they thought about arming themselves.
They all laughed and rolled and yelled....they told him he was crazy.
They explained how they dont have permits and didnt know how to obtain the proper licencing.
Mark explained they could walk into Walmart and walk out with a shotgun or rifle TODAY. Again, they laughed and said hell no, they need a licence.
Mark told then No....as long as you pass a background check, you can buy a gun today.
The guys were amazed.
Its kind of sad that grown men living in a very dangerous area had NO CLUE they could just "buy a gun".
He did this in 2 cities with the same results, the locals thought they needed special permission that was not granted to them.
Very sad.

 

[SomeSoldier]

I'll tell you what. Its very hard for me to obtain a firearm in NY compared to when I lived in KY. I think its too hard for Americans to obtain firearms period.

IMO this has zero barring, ignorance is no excuse. Do some research, ask questions. The laws are not different based on your race. They are the same.

Pistols in NY are a huge pain in the ass but long guns really are very easy to get legally. Selection is good, you can be in and out over a lunch time.

Oh, my ar took two extra weeks to get because I had to wait for it to be turned into a fixed 10 round mag. In KY I could have walked out of the store that day with it and 100 round beta mags.

Virtually all of the societal divisions and problems we have in this country are economic at their root.

Cloaking it in race is very convenient- and way easier than dealing with the underlying problems.

 

[redtail]

Except for the nfac , those guys are assholes. So highly trained they have NDs.

Agreed
But.....these guys have neen taught their whole lives that guns are not for them. Community organizers like Obama have told them for years that guns are for hunting in rural areas.
They never even considered they could buy a gun.
Its almost like abuse. The local government has these people completely under government control.
Also remember that these guys probably read at a 6th grade level. Not their fault, the inner city schools are horrible. They are also not taught about their rights. Inner city schools concentrate heavily on reading, writing and basic math. Its a tough life for good kids in those schools.
Anyways, its very sad that people do live this way. It may be ignorance or, it could be wjat they are taught.
If you are told by EVERYONE....parents, teachers, community organizers, politicians, law enforcement......that guns are only for redneck hunters, you probably believe it.

 

[fresch]

Or like I was told by a black friend, we have them you dummies registered yours.

 

[Mr. terzmo]

Good...I would hope all the law abiding citizens in the State and specifically Buffalo...obtain a firearm and maybe that would help them to deal with the trash and drug dealer's in their neighborhood. The cops can't help them alone...the democratic politicians leave them hanging(except election year and their best argument is "you aint black unless you vote for me") so the people and people alone need to eliminate the trash and drug dealers. My 2 cents.

 

[repete]

You have a point there. Other than the south because for the most part it’s a Republican , stronghold, anywhere that has a heavy black population, guns are difficult to obtain.

And many of the people in charge of those area's are also 'black' so there goes the op's "facts". I see quite a few non whites at the range.

 

[Edwardteach72]

Black guns matter.

Maj needs more recognition

 

[Edwardteach72]

maybe people should do a history lesson and find out why the laws we have now are what they are..

Ask yourself why can't felons own guns or vote??

 

[gun_slinger_boy]

Ask yourself why can't felons own guns or vote??

Doesn't make sense does it. I know there are a few proponents on here that believe a persons rights should be restored (automatically) after serving their time.

 

[Phazer]

All we have are labels.

Yup.

Some of the labels with which I personally identify: American. Constitutional Conservative.

I accept those designations.

Oh if you look up why felons can't own guns or vote and the time period it for sure makes sense

 

[MoMan]

I agree!
All of the hyphenated 'species' has to stop if they ever want to be considered the same. Stop the 'african-american', latino-american', hispanic-american', ALL of it. If they want to be considered equal, they need to identify as 'AMERICANS"! I am of Italian heritage, BUT was ALWAYS taught that we are Americans, NOT 'italian-americans'! That hyphenated shit is REALLY getting old!!

 

[JaguarJaguarGolf]

I used to ask guys in the active ares of the city about taking the Firefighters test. "F*** that! I wanna gun, and I wanna park my car wherever the F*** I want."

 

[Jchrisls]

What it seems to break down to isn't (and never was) a racial divide in obtaining firearms. Its simply a lack of knowledge of rights to own firearms. Hell, I'm new to firearms ownership. For the longest time I believed I need a permit to own any firearm. Lack of knowledge and research is all that stooges of my way.

Virtually all of the societal divisions and problems we have in this country are economic at their root.

This itself couldn't be more true.



Cloaking it in race is very convenient- and way easier than dealing with the underlying problems.

And the cycle will continue until people are educated about thier rights. This isn't about race at all, nor should it ever be about it. A responsible gun owner is all anyone needs to know, and each and every one of them is welcome

Again go read up history on why felons can't own guns or vote

History is all well and good and important to know but we are talking about current events.
