I would think that black Americans would be totally sick of hearing this garbage

It is not lost on myself that in recent historic highs of purchases of firearms are first time buyers and minorities.
And women.

Looking at the violence in 2020 and 2021, in mostly Blue cities, where the defund the police movement is strongest, that would fuel those new, first time buyers.
Outstanding.

Old Jim Crow laws did more to prevent blacks from having 2A rights.

??????????? - possibly the stupidest thing ever >>> 1787 - what did the US Constitution much less the 2A Right section of the Amendments have to do with black slaves - most of the freed blacks had fled to Canada after the Brits were defeated and George Washington & Company was taking over ....

even the blacks screaming gun rights after the Civil War and fighting the KKK is more propaganda BS than truth - the Union troops occupying the South during Reconstruction did more to keep the blacks unarmed & suppressed than the KKK - blacks were freed but hardly equal men in any white men's eyes ....

I'm sick of this whole GD issue. They're either American or African, they can't be both.

Blacks want more guns just like all Americans do---and less restrictions---and more ammo.

they don't care about the restrictions >>> one gun law that won't be revoked is a criminal record - and that's the biggie for the blacks - guns are available - just costs more $$$$
