How long until they demand that gays start carrying guns for self-defense?
"It was a gun-free zone! Why was there no good-guy-with-a-gun?"
"Minorities should definitely start carrying guns everywhere, just in case some bigot wants to hurt them. More guns to them!"
How long until we hear such laments from the right?

(31,513 posts)1. "More guns, more guns" seems to be the standard NRA solution.
They won't even consider that having more guns and fewer controls can lead to such wholesale slaughter that we've seen in recent history. As long as their precious is left alone, they don't really care how many people die.

How many videos have we seen from open carry states...white guy walks down the street with a rifle and nothing happens, black guy walks down the same street with the same rifle and 4 police cars roll up. Within minutes he's face down on the pavement with a knee in his back.
John Crawford, a young black man carrying a TOY rifle in an open carry state is shot within seconds of police arrival.
Let's not get confused about the NRA agenda, their mantra of more guns more guns more guns is a whites only club. I've often said the most productive way to change the NRA is for AAs in mass to join and vote as members. Sabotage from within.
