Why can't people spell "amendment?"

I see them some at the gun shop, but never see them at the ranges.

Look up the history of the NRA, Ronald Reagan and black panthers


Blacks people have always had a strong support for gun rights

They also have strong support for religious freedom

It’s actually a problem for democrats

Ahem, Because the other people living in that household can't buy one?

Most minorities don't care about laws, or abiding by them....

People conflate owning a gun or buying a gun with supporting the 2nd.
It’s just not the case.
The vast majority have no clue what the 2nd is about- having a well armed militia to protect against a tyrannical government never even enters the conversation anymore.

It’s typically about hunting or self defense and too many would gladly agree to allow way more restrictions than they should.
Mostly because they don’t understand the 2nd.

So combine that with the “white supremacist” are “militiamen” and “domestic terrorist” and minorities will gladly condemn the 2nd as long as the reason for its existence are eradicated.

Wanting a gun and supporting the 2nd aren’t always hand in hand.

I never understood why black and brown people don't care for the 2nd ammendment?

The ones I work with love guns, and we often get together to throw lead downrange on the weekends... well, before the recent ammo shortage and boating accidents.

What surprises me is that these dudes and their families love firearms, the 2A, and OK's self defense laws... but they still unwaveringly vote extreme liberal.

Bizarro world.

You're painting with very broad strokes. Nearly every Hispanic friend and family member I have owns a firearm and would fight to keep the 2nd ammendment as it was written.

A lot of black people that I know, are pro 2A, and own multiple guns. Most of them are also very religious and are big Christians. They also don’t like gays. A lot of black people that I know have a lot of conservative values, but still vote Democrat. Doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. They should be voting for more conservative people but for some reason they vote in liberal people who make their towns worse.

Funny thing is, if you ever get to having a conversation with most black people, they actually have conservative values but don't realize it. The grifter preachers like Sharpton have hood winked them.

Overall they don’t tend to follow laws that well anyway so why worry about a new one.
