The gun control circular argument

From Courtland Milloy –

Someone read a statement from Jackson urging “gun shops and gun manufacturers to stop the epidemic of rising gun violence.”

Excuse me, but I just don’t see why any black person would expect gun manufacturers and dealers to help us stop killing ourselves. At Realco, guys pull into the parking lot in big SUVs with tinted glass and spinning rims. They look like gangbangers from a rap music video. If some gun-control advocates had their way, Realco would reject those young black men as customers because they fit a racial profile. And Realco would be sued for not selling guns as surely as it was denounced yesterday for selling them. (source)

  1. Protesting against guns is so stupid in my opinion. Of the several guns that I own, not a single one has killed anyone while in my possession.

  2. I would send them back for warranty repair — they’re obviously defective since everyone knowns their only purpose is to kill people ;->
