Left Thought Conservatives Would Freak Over Black Gun Owners. They Were Wrong<\/a><\/p>\n

For ages now, some in Democratic circles have sworn up and down that the best way to get the right to support gun control was to have legions of black gun owners.<\/p>\n

You see, in their mind, the right only sees gun rights existing for white people. Minorities shouldn\u2019t bother.<\/p>\n

Except, that is USDA Grade \u201cA\u201d Prime male bovine excrement. No one on this side has ever believed that way. We may not agree with the things an armed black man or woman might be saying\u2013then again, we might\u2013but I\u2019ll always stand in favor of their right to keep and bear arms,\u00a0even against Republicans who suggest otherwise<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, but you\u2019re the only one,\u201d some might try to say.<\/p>\n

Well, wrong again<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cGun ownership among Black Americans is soaring,\u201d notes a headline in\u00a0The Hill.\u00a0<\/em>So what? Why does the story come accompanied with a story of what is obviously meant to appear to be a scary paramilitary group of blacks? Are we supposed to think that black Americans who buy guns lawfully are going to organize themselves into roving bands of troublemakers? This fear is farfetched when it comes to white-nationalist militias and I see no reason to think that black-nationalist militias are something to lose sleep over either. Black Americans are legally buying guns for the same reasons\u00a0Americans<\/em>\u00a0are legally buying guns: They don\u2019t trust their government to look out for them. This fear is understandable.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n
Noted in the National Review<\/em>\u00a0story is that many liberals rejoiced at the story, figuring that now we\u2019d start to see gun control support from the right. After all, this has long been their thinking.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

An example:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I hate to break it to Sundevil3015, that\u2019s not really how most of us view gun rights.<\/p>\n

See, black men are the people statistically most likely to be shot and killed. Yes, many of those happen to be involved in gang activity, but many others are either bystanders or are unfortunate souls who confront criminals and get shot for their trouble. They\u2019re good, decent people who should have the means to defend themselves, but often live in communities where that\u2019s discouraged or even illegal.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not right.<\/p>\n

For me, I want to see every law-abiding citizen armed, both inside the home and outside of it. If all the good guys have guns, the bad guys have much more limited options, and violent crime all but vanishes. It won\u2019t disappear completely, because that\u2019s not human nature, but it will be such a pathetically low amount that it won\u2019t even matter.<\/p>\n

That includes black men and women. It includes Hispanic men and women, and Asian men and women, and any other group you care to name. <Insert Oprah: \u201cYou get a gun, and you get a gun, and everyone gets a gun!\u201d here><\/p>\n

While there are exceptions, none of us are freaked out by black men with guns. We\u2019re bothered by a media that expects us to be afraid of black men with guns. We\u2019re bothered by a government that sees civilian firearm ownership as a threat to public safety despite the mountains of data telling us otherwise.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

But black gun owners? For them I just want to know one thing: Where are you getting your ammo? I need some bad!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
