This is just (what appears to be) a black guy sashaying down the street with his AR. WE NEED THIS IN EVERY WHITE SUBURB IN THE COUNTRY. PAY THEM!!

[zincwarrior]

This is what happens when people don't get enough TexMex in their diet.

 

[Threegoofs]

Maybe the awareness should work both ways. Why do so many people ignore the violence by blacks?

LOL.

Do you call your ex-girlfriends 'The Blacks'?

Im beginning to see why they were ex's.

 

[CaughtInThe]

Shootings happen everywhere.

Wait. I thought shootings only happened in places like Chicago. Inner cities.

But I'm glad at least one person here admits that they happen everywhere.

 

[CaughtInThe]

Doesn't change the fact that the OP wants outsiders to militarize and march around in areas that both don't view guns with the same pearl clutching that liberals do and it's also stupid to provoke potential conflict.

These are open carry towns and states that were talking about and visitors have every right to arm themselves to the teeth, according to the town and state laws, just like the locals. And if somebody got shot, since these people would be going to these towns peacefully, it would be the locals the shooting them. Not the people that are armed that are going there.


And why do you even care. Do the locals have more of a right to be armed? Why would the locals shoot a black armed man faster than they would shoot a white armed man?

Have you ever seen how they talk to each other?

Who do you think these white guys want to shoot with their permitless open carry weapons?

Honestly, it seems like those type of guys are just waiting for someone, anyone, to make a move so they can shoot them and "stand their ground".

The OP is based on the idea that predominately white suburbs or towns are scared of black people, so if black people are paid to go into those places with guns blazing (even if held properly) the laws are going to magically change because it did one time a long time ago. Instead of what I think will be the reality is if happens people are going to get hurt or killed, and then nothing will change. I just don't think enticing more gun violence, which that is, is a good solution for gun violence.

And I'm not suggesting that we force anyone to do anything. They would apply for the job. And it would be a peaceful job.

Peaceful? There are white people that will literally call the cops if a black person is simply breathing near them or kill them , you think if a group of black people, camera crews or not, walking down their street even with guns held properly they won't do a thing?

I get it, they will apply. Some of them may die of gun violence but that's the sacrifice they are willing to make to try and reduce gun violence.

If I were to compromise and say okay let's try it - I would want them all to have some training as part of that position and not be put in a position where locals are shooting them and be willing and ready to shoot back.

 

[Threegoofs]

Have you ever seen how they talk to each other?

“They”?

You mean my coworkers, neighbors and friends?

 

[zincwarrior]

I've yet to see a long gun open carry dood outside of a protest. In my youth I saw a lot of long gun open carry as it was normal in the country to see kids with .22s and .410s.

if visitors go to a town, peacefully, and the locals shoot them anyway that doesn't mean that the visitors went to a town to be violent. it means they went there peacefully and the LOCALS became violent.

hell, they could have a script where they are nothing but polite. but maybe THEY would have to take their own security like a politician (which is kinda where we are as a nation).

That's what I am mostly worried about - the other people getting violent and innocent people being shot (which just ADDS to the gun violence statistics) and yes if this scenario were to happen they have to have security and some training.

CT forum is

Huh? The CT are racists in denial that they are the christian nationalist nuthouse, hence the need for Rupert Murdoch owned Media Properties, Trumpism, and the NRA-Putin Alliance Lobby as the "crazy glue" holding up the house of cards that Jeff Davis built.

How the NRA transformed from marksmen to lobbyists​

The National Rifle Association was a sporting association. Amid the rapid social upheaval of 1968, it began its transformation into a powerful political force.
By Ann Gerhart and Chris Alcantara May 29, 2018

Gun control tapped into the turmoil of the 1960s, exposing tensions of race and class, and between rural and urban Americans. The National Rifle Association, founded in 1871, 80 years after the adoption of the Second Amendment, began to wield power by amplifying its members’ fears of being disarmed in lawless times, and it used that energy to influence gun legislation in Washington.
[ How the assassinations of 1968 led the NRA to become the lobbying force it is today ]

A timeline of NRA influence on gun laws​

Did You Know There Was A Time When The NRA Was Pro-Gun Control ? - High. How Are You?

The National Rifle Association is currently battling two major opponents, gun control legislation and public opinion. A recent national Quinnipiac poll revealed that...

www.highhowareyou.com

Although the Panthers were acting in accordance with California law, the police and the state considered Panther Patrols to be disruptive and a danger to society. The Mulford Act sought to repeal the laws protecting the Panthers right to openly bear arms. A right that is currently at the forefront of the NRA movement.

In the 70’s the NRA did a complete 180 from supporting the disarming of the Panthers in the late 60’s to adopting the same policy of open carry that the Black Panthers fought for. The Hypocrisy!!

Did Reagan Say 'No Reason' to Carry Loaded Guns in Public?

Readers emailed us to ask if former U.S. President and California Gov. Ronald Reagan once made a statement about carrying loaded weapons in the streets.

www.snopes.com

Former Republican U.S. President and California Gov. Ronald Reagan once said, "There is absolutely no reason why out on the street today a civilian should be carrying a loaded weapon."

 

[Simpletruther]

THIS NEEDS TO BE A JOB AND SOME RICH PERSON/GROUP NEEDS TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.

No violence. Just hire them and pay them to be armed (loaded for bear) in every predominantly white, open carry neighborhood/downtown in every open carry state. They should announce they're coming and film crews need to always follow them. They need to do it every single day and never stop.

And if they need to concentrate on 5 or 10 neighborhoods (so they're not stretched too thin) then that would work too.

That might be a good political ploy. I admit. We will see.

It may ge that people quickly get used to it. And understand it is harmless politics.

But sure, people are understandably more afraid of a black guy with a gun.

 

[Fishking]

But I'm glad at least one person here admits that they happen everywhere.

Strawman. No one said that shootings only happen in Chicago or inner cities. However, if you narrow those areas down to specific parts, they have extremely high levels of shootings.

I said it was stupid, which it is, not that it's against the law. Conversely, it's legal to have a racist sign, ala Die Hard II, and walk down the streets of Harlem. However, that would also be stupid and would invite conflict.

There aren't armed good liberals walking around with guns.

Dude. Republican harp on how shootings are an inner city thing and leave out all the shootings elsewhere. It's a republican media mainstay.

But I'm glad that at least you admitted it's a big ole gigantic lie.

It's not stupid because it would immediately show if the local politicians really do believe in having everyone armed to the teeth. Or just the locals armed to the teeth.

 

[US&THEM]

Sure stick with that logic.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

yep. Armed black people are terrifying to many white people.

I have no idea why that would be. Do you?

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

My first impulse is "No, this would lead to more violence", but then again theres going to be more violence anyway, LOTS more violence, so maybe this would be a good idea in order to get some bans rushed through various legislatures. Maybe even get something Federal.

So: I say YES.

Compared to ....? (Blue states's gun control laws and gun thefts and sometimes 1/3 per capita incarceration rates do not contribute to level of gun violence in red states. The flow of guns from red to blue states is measured. The flow of ex-cons out of red states are not.)

Frequently Asked Questions About Gun Trafficking

U.S. firearms are trafficked with alarming frequency, increasing violence in the United States and across international borders.

www.americanprogress.org

"..The flow of guns tends to move from states with weaker gun laws to those with stronger gun laws.12 In New Jersey and New York—two states with some of the strongest gun laws in the country according to the Giffords Law Center Gun Law Scorecard—79 percent and 72 percent of recovered crime guns originated out of state, respectively.13 Similarly, close to 50 percent of crime guns recovered in Illinois originate out of state, with 15 percent alone coming from the state of Indiana.14 "

Felony conviction rates are up nationwide. These states are reconsidering how they classify crimes

In recent decades, every state has seen a dramatic increase in the share of its population convicted of a felony, leaving more people facing hurdles in finding a place to live and prompting some states to revisit how they classify crimes.

www.pbs.org

"..In Georgia, 15 percent of the adult population was a felon in 2010, up from around 4 percent in 1980. The rate was above 10 percent in Florida, Indiana, Louisiana and Texas.

Less than 5 percent of the population in Maine, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York, Utah and West Virginia were felons, but every state had a large increase between 1980 and 2010, when the felony population ranged from 1 to 5 percent, according to a University of Georgia study published in October.

The new estimates only go through 2010, before many states began to reclassify some crimes, scale back sentencing and take other steps to lower incarceration rates and ease ex-offenders back into society. But they are the first attempt to gauge the state-by-state buildup of felons during a nationwide, decades-long surge in punishment: Less than 2 million people were in prison or jail or on parole or probation in 1980, compared with more than 7 million in 2007..."

If you want to repeal the 2nd amendment, we need to see this in every white neighborhood in America.

I have no idea why that would be. Do you?

Nope.
