Being black isn’t a choice. Owning a gun is. And gun owners keep telling me how they are and need to be responsible… but never take responsibility for all the gun crime.
Blaming a group that is many many times more likely to kill those around them and habitually defends their hobby with gems like “What if we need to overthrow our democratically elected government?”, “There is no amount of people that die due to guns that would convince me gun ownership isn’t worth the cost” and some lame analogy equating guns with penises and gun homicide with rape as if that didn’t write the jokes about gun owners itself. (If you’re a little slow, it means a lot of you just came out and said the quiet part out loud. Some of you really do use guns to compensate for… shortcommings)
And the fact that further down, you’re arguing that “only 42,000 die a year” and that most of them are suicides (as if those deaths matter less for some reason) just proves my point. Could many of you handle guns responsibly? Sure. But I dont think that tens of thousands dead a year is worth waiting to find out which ones.
i dont think everyone should have their guns taken away. i used to have a coworker, retired now, who when the topic came up of crime hed say something like “i hope someone would, id love to.” to me that sounds psychopathic. someone like that might should have their guns taken away.
This is blaming a group for the actions of some individuals, which has got to be some logical fallacy.
If you want to call for no more guns have at it, but I’ve got to take issue with your reasoning.
There‘s a hell of a lot of “some individuals”
OK, now do African Americans.

Most gun violence is gang/suicide/assault/robbery
The outliers that generate more outrage are the mass shooters, racists and accidents involving children
Pretty hard to take responsibility for any of those if you are not the perp
Hush, you are ruining their narrative. Don’t you know statistics are racist?
Ffs, leave us out of this.

Well you’re clearly not as smart as you think.
