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

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 ?

This guy gets it. From our Constitution and US Code;

Article 1, Section 8

To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;

To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;

10 USC Ch. 12: THE MILITIA

§246. Militia: composition and classes

(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.

(b) The classes of the militia are—

(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and

(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.

It strikes me that “armed Black men” is a large part of the reason that many Whites feel the NEED to arm themselves.

Pathetic. This is projection.

If anything, law-abiding black Americans need guns for personal protection more than anyone else.

There is a significant part of the left that supports gun ownership, particularly the far left. The Socialist Rifle Association is mostly an online group calling for socialism and gun rights. About 10,000 members in the US.

Probably the most controversial group is the Not fricking Around Coalition (NFAC). They’re a smaller but more extreme paramilitary group of black nationalists. They show up in full black bloc with rifles at protests.

i've always found it interesting that the same people that think there are white supremacists hiding behind every rock and tree also want black people to be unarmed.

i would argue that if you really think there are that many racist out there that would do you harm, please arm yourself and train to use it responsibly. i've never once heard an argument by a white person or anybody on the right arguing against anybody of color obtaining a legal firearm.

Colion Noir is an interesting follow for an extremely pro 2A black man.

More guns for black people means more black people shooting each other more than anything. More armed robberies, etc. Pretty much the only real statistic that would change much.

The 13%'ers do not account for more than a minutia of the firearms in American hands.

American gun control has always had its roots in racism. We should probably tear down gun control efforts because of that.

I hope black people arm themselves to the max.

Absolutely. Black on black crime has always been a problem.
Since the cops are minutes away when seconds count, I support upstanding black citizens helping themselves when it comes to cleaning their own house.
