In the end, only one of the 12 volunteer victims in the exercise survived. And it was because she ran away. No one was able to take out both mock shooters.[/B]

If you understand how the minds of gun nuts work then you'll realize every single gun nut who reads a story like that instantly thinks to himself(and it's always a himself) "I would have aced it, not like those stupid sheeple"

Supporitng at-will ownership for semi-auto handguns is like supporting stop-and-frisk or screwing poors with snowballing municipal fines.

It's not like a first order racist thing, and it's technically possible for non-racists to support, but it is absolutely a racist policy in its effects and a shitload of racists seem to think it's a great idea.

So gun nuts are effectually racists.

Could you expand on this?

I mean, are you trying to say that by allowing black people access to firearms the country is permitting them to be shot at a higher rate than white people, therefore the government is racist?

The horrific toll violence takes on the lives of young black men is largely the result of whites who support racist pro-gun policies. If you think you should be able to walk into a gun show with a wad of cash and walk out with a bunch of semi-auto handguns you are part of the reason why the leading cause of death for young black men is homicide.

Needless to say, pretending that people of color don't support gun safety legislation at a far higher rate than whites is just more proof of racist ideation. If you had a women-only or a black-only plebiscite to determine American's gun control laws then the white nutjobs who stockpile guns would have all their toys taken away.

They're dopes like most Americans.

I thought you were supposed to be one of the "progressive" gun nuts?

If you want to keep that up, you should probably work a little bit harder to mask your sneering contempt of black Americans.

Why on earth you imagine your personal second-hand opinion as to what black people think about gun control is somehow more reliable than what black people actually think about gun control, I can't imagine. Feel free to educate yourself.

I, too, looked into those claims.

Here is a neat report from the United States Government Accountability Office.

Lets see what it says!


Here's a chart to help you.

This is bad, even by the low bar one comes to expect from gun nuts.

It's like insisting that Hillary has <0.1% support because that poll that shows her at 55% in the general only polled a thousand people, so only 550 support here.

Here's the number that matters: 87% of seized firearms traced to their origin were from the United States.

It's probably more like 20,000 dudes cooing like imbeciles per 1 grieving family tho.

You're vastly overestimating the number of tiny-dicked cripplingly insecure manboys who can't face the rigours of modern life without the security blanket of their AR-15.

What other weird hobbies do maladjusted losers with toxic masculinity issues obsess over? Maybe they can try that instead, it would probably mean fewer dead children. Try steroids or sports cars or something.
