I thought this was very interesting and could have an effect on the political landscape going forward. Also some i internet consequences of the race riots. Honestly very glad to see this.

The club’s patrons and employees explained why so many black Americans are purchasing firearms for self-defense and how gun control disproportionately harms people of color.

the first gun control laws were racist, started to keep guns away from newly freed slave for fear of retribution.

And the current gun control laws were started to, ironically, keep newly made slaves in line out of fear of retribution.

All gun laws are targeted at the poor or middle class.

If you've got money you can have whatever you want. Full auto in NY ? Pony up the cash and it's yours.....

News flash:. Any law will hit the poor dispoportionately. It doesn't matter if it's fees, gun laws or anything else. When will people realize this?

Gun laws are not racist. The gun laws are a violation of all people. Not just the blacks and the poor.

More racism thrown at us.

In fairness, most are passed with the specific intention of disarming blacks first and foremost.

That's what racism is, the intent not the result.

That's how the left has twisted the word.

If you pass a law that effects everyone equally, but your *intent* is to block one race, then it's racist.

If your *intent* is to accomplish some other goal but it happens to disproportionately affect one race, that doesn’t make it racist.


Abortion is a great example.

Many "pro choice" people are very racist, they are explicitly trying to reduce the black population (see anything written by the founder of planned parenthood for instance). That is as racist as anything that ever came out of a clan meeting.


Pro life on the other hand is focused on not killing babies, regardless of their race. The result of those laws would disproportionately affect black people because they get proportionally more abortions, but they are not racist because that is an unintended side effect and not the main purpose.

Just go with it man it might help us. You won’t stop the spiral of racism and whites are bad anyway.

I think they are racist in the sense that more minorities are poor and don’t have the means to get the permits and trainings especially in the cities where it’s more difficult. Think about the city of Buffalo now there is not one gun store in the city of Buffalo. Also if you don’t have a computer right now there’s no way to get a pistol permit.
