The left's reaction to black gun ownership is bewildering and facinating

If you ever want to redpill someone point them to the often repeated, "Best way to get Republicans behind gun control is to arm black people" by online blue checkmarks like these replies.
This is what facinates me the most about regurgitating that BS:
1. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have NEVER seen any conservative of any stripe make an argument to take guns away because they feel threatened by black people having them. Every discussion within republican/conservative circles about adressing violent crime aren't bringing up confiscating firerms. There isn't a bigotry of low expectations for black people by conservatives on this issue becuase we hold responsible gun ownership principles equally. If any individual can avoid being an idiot criminal and use their firarms responsibility, you're good to go no matter who you are.
2. The idiots that would commit crimes with them never had problems obtaining and owning them before now. Only recently have you seen a black gun ownership increase due to going through the proper legal process of owning them. Also ya know when you have a good economy and low unemployment rate for black communities; you got a lot more people able to afford more guns.
3. Even with some black gun owners that do open-carry protests, I have yet to see "terrified white people" using the police to "oppress" them. We know this becuase we would have certainty heard about it from the media. "See when white people open-carry it's celebrated, but when black people do it blah blah blah".
4. This too.

Whatever happened to the not “fricking around” LARPers? They were fun.

No, that would be the Democrat Stasi.
In the case of my wife it's due to the increase in drug addicts near her office.

Owning a gun isn’t a need, it’s a want and a right. You don’t NEED to speak freely but you have the right to....well, until you liberals started cancel culture bs.

I'm white and I joined the National African Amercian Gun Association (NAAGA) [link=(www.naaga.co)]www.naaga.co[/link] about 2 years ago. They believe in gun safety and the 2nd Amendment. Plus, they are coming from a unique perspective that African Americans have historically suffered from a lost of their civil rights due in part that one of the rights that they were deprived off for many years was the right to own firearms. Let the Blue Checks argue that these folks should be deprived of their 2nd Amendment rights, I date them!

They ultimately always point to the Mulford Act, which Reagan signed into law. Of course, they always fail to mention that it passed both Democrat-controlled state houses, was never repealed (though it was racist?), and happened 54 years ago.

They kept fricking around and shooting each other.

Armed criminals, regardless of color, is why I carry. But as usual, the community Dem makes everything about color.

There was a time in our history when every man owned at least one firearm. Would it be wrong that each state require that every citizen own at least one firearm today? Also require each citizen to undergo firearm training and safety class. Sounds like a well trained militia ?

I have guns for hunting and self defense and I also enjoy shooting. Long range shooting is a skill similar to golf, just more expensive lately. My reasons for having them have nothing to do with what color other gun owners are.

We need to get rid of the racist gun laws requiring ID to buy guns.

Built my last AR with FDE furniture. Now it isn't scary.

You misspelled "criminals."

Nope, I know a lot of black people who own guns for protection and hunting. Fully support them. Was in my local gun shop twice in the last 2 weeks. Both trips 2 different young black men were in buying hand guns. The store treated them like they treat everyone else and sold them the guns. The customers all treated them like any other customer and happy to see them buying their gun.
Democrats need to stop believing that their dark thoughts are what conservatives think. We don’t think a like and never will.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't seen any evidence (particularly in inner city data) that shows that it's difficult for black Americans to obtain firearms.
That talking point is pretty stupid.

Any legally armed, responsible firearms owner is welcomed by me.

It strikes me that "armed criminals that face no judicial process" is the reason that many people feel the need to arm themselves.
This is the reason I read and enjoy each installment of The Armed Citizen in American Riflemen.

When you judge by the content of people's character versus the color of the skin, then their actions matter regardless of race. I'm not the one making the 50% of violent crimes being attributed to black people statistic.
