Gun owners: if police can murder you for having a gun, you don't have the right to have a gun.
I mean, evidence shows they'll shoot you whether you're armed or not, might as well be able to shoot back.
What can't police murder you for?
Being white and male.
Edit: just want to add an /s I dropped.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Daniel_Shaver
I wouldn't bet my life on that.
you'll lose it anyways, so you might as well
Daniel Shaver would like a word.
You are completely right on that one. I had totally forgotten that incident.
As a rebuttal, I really should have put a /s for sarcasm. My comment was based on the disproportionate amount of these incidents happening to minorities and people of color.
And white ~~terrorist~~ errr I mean kid, Kyle Rittenhouse....
The irony here is that the gun put him in danger instead of adding protection
Tell it to Russian protesters. Before they were drafted. Or poisoned. Or imprisoned. Or being shot on bridge near Kremlin. Or poisoned and then imprisoned. Or not protester, but 20-years old programmer who was beaten to death for jogging. Or woman who got force abortion by her stomach being kicked with reinforced boot.
Tell them what? Be specific so there is no misunderstanding.
That if they had guns they would be in more danger
They just needed a few good guys with guns walking down the street at the same time to help out.
They don't even care about gun rights if you're white and a Democrat. Look at how the NRA is not even saying a peep about Hunter Biden's gun charge.
