Blah blah blah... Watch this video, watch it as many times as it takes for you to understand what this young man is saying. Wanna see some real change? Here's a lot more than three things that can and should be done.
Some gold nuggets in this hilarious editorial: Maybe because the Second Amendment runs counter to the popular liberal battle cry of "ban all guns"? How can you use it to further liberal ideas when the Amendment itself is against the ideals of liberals? What a laugh! Reason #1 from the article: "1. Openly carrying a gun legally (in an open-carry state) is a public display indicating that an individual does not have a criminal record. This alone undermines the basis behind racial profiling. Since there's an FBI background check before the purchase of a gun, walking with a firearm in an open-carry state is essentially a public display that one does not have a criminal record. Furthermore, since the vast majority of African-Americans will never have a criminal record, then openly carrying a gun could be a sign, or a public display to everyone that an individual must not be confused with a suspect, or treated like a suspect." Until, of course, criminals begin to do the same thing and carry openly, blending in with law abiding citizens. Then you'd essentially have how it was in the Wild West, though this time it wouldn't be hyperbole from the left to claim it as such. Incidentally, I'm ok with Open Carry laws for everyone. "2. The epidemic of disproportionate force utilized against black men in America warrants an alternative, and legal, solution to this problem. The deaths of unarmed black citizens continue in America, despite the fact that we're in 2014 and not 1814. While the killers of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown have been found "not guilty," cities throughout the country have admitted guilt in other fatal encounters with unarmed African-Americans. Often times, the stories of these tragedies are so horrific that one wonders why such overwhelming force is utilized against people who aren't carrying weapons." Ah, I see. The logic here is that, since they get shot anyway by the police, they might as well have a gun while getting shot by the police. Sure, let's implement this yesterday, and see what effect it has on the shooting of blacks by policemen. I'm sure if any race were to do this, it would be equally insane, but why not? "3. The vast majority of African-American men will never commit a crime, so it's time America realizes this fact. If openly carrying a gun will help our country overcome centuries of prejudice pertaining to skin color, then it's an option that should be pursued. " Yes, even supposing for a second that a real, honest to God problem exists and everyone who is not black thinks every black is a criminal, attaching a firearm to their hip should ease fears and confusion among all. What an asinine article! People get paid to write this crap? Every black out there can legally apply for a handgun right now, so long as they are not a felon, etc. Anyone who has a legally owned firearm knows what to do when the police confront you - for anything. But then again, it isn't legal firearm owners who are having problems with the law most of the time, is it.
