    If you want gun control, the best thing you can do is encourage marginalized communities to get lots of guns. That has always driven gun reform in the past.

        I recommend against relying on taser guns. If the attacker is wearing thick or baggy clothes, or any kind of body armor, the probes won’t connect with the skin and the taser will become useless. Even with a good connection, some people just won’t be affected by the shock.

        Those gun laws are never enforced fairly and are just a thin legal veil to justify racism and oppression of minorities. If you cared about PoC, you wouldn’t support gun control at all.

        This whole debate reeks of racist white coffee-drinking liberal. 🤦 And if saying that sounds racist to you, remember what was said about the white moderate back in the 60’s.

          Better to do nothing, so we can continue living in a world where minorities aren’t armed, and where racism and oppression don’t happen, right?

          America has a mass shooting problem. Gun control sure seems to be an effective way to stop children from being killed in schools, and caring about children being safe doesn’t mean I don’t care about PoC.

          The whole point was that A) minorities should arm themselves, which you clearly agree with and B) that IF conservatives are scared of an armed minority population and create gun control laws (which we’re all acknowledging would be intended to harm minorities), there would still be a positive effect in that children would be safer.

            Why do you ask stupid, loaded questions?

            Why are you arguing with me in bad faith?

            Why are you wasting your Saturday arguing with me at all?

                No, I was asking you, but your response here tells us clearly that no, you’re not here in good faith and you’re not going to waste any more of my time. Go outside

                  Not sure why the immediate hostility. It was a perfectly valid question pertaining to your rhetoric. You’re not doing any good by replying to legitimate talking points “go outside” lol

          Excuse me sir, madam, or Mx,

          I happen to like my coffee with soy milk in it, and that shouldn’t be an insult.
