fool_of_sound posted:The stats aren't particularly available or clear, but it appears that for every unarmed black person murdered by police, there are around 8 who are killed while armed, and therefore deemed good shoots. Being armed as a minority is a huge liability. Someone living in a poor area with high crime is in more danger of generally living there than they are of cops shooting them because they have a gun. I'm a strong advocate of firearms being available to the poor because they're often the ones in the greatest need of self-defense and the least able to rely on police to keep them safe.

You're a strong advocate for firearms being available to the poor because you like your toys and prefer to pretend you're being woke about it. The myth of self defense has been extensively proven: owning a gun makes you dramatically less safe, both from self-harm and harm by others due to escalation. This goes double for unreliable pieces of poo poo like zip guns.

Sorry you just expect the cops to protect you if you're in danger.

Growing up in this neighborhood I've had: * My grandparent's car stolen out of the driveway shortly after their death. * One or two attempted break-ins where the person was scared and ran out of our yard after getting spotted. * When I was a kid, a pedophile being caught naked and masturbating in my backyard. * A renter at the house across the street physically attacking his girlfriend and their infant daughter in the driveway during an argument. Any of those situations could have ended up a lot worse. In the last one I actually did come out with a rifle that cost me $137 because I could hear the baby screaming and realized what was going on. It was an extremely unpleasant situation that left me shaking from adrenaline and fear for the rest of the night after he fled. So yeah, I'm a strong advocate of people passing background checks and being allowed to arm themselves without a ton of hoops and added cost. I've actually been in the kinds of situations where someone being unarmed could have ended a lot worse if things didn't go differently. And I'm sure as hell not calling the cops as a first resort when they're so trigger-happy. Support legal firearm ownership. Arm poor minorities. gently caress the police.

Also the study claiming that guns greatly increase the chance of death or injury by your own guns was a heavily biased study that should be thrown out (it used statistics for young black males in a poor area and only questioned if a gun was present in the home at any time before a person was killed there and then applied the statistics to the entire country).

Being armed as a minority is a huge liability. Remember that those 'while armed' status include 'a gun was found nearby when searching after the shooting', and several departments have been outright caught with drop guns. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...d-a8189731.html

When I was at Field Medical Service School for the Navy learning how to keep Marines alive, they gave us rubber model M-16s to carry around wherever we went, we had to name them, all that jazz. I named mine "Pax Americana" and got yelled at a bit.
