I support gun control. But speaking honestly about the combustible mix of race and guns may be more important to stopping the slaughter in minority communities than any new gun-control laws.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I support gun safety measures, and I'll tell you, I grew up in a family of gun owners and hunters, and I went hunting with my dad as a kid, and you know, I have deep respect for the Second Amendment and the culture of our country.
I am in support of the NRA position on gun control.
Apparently, the heart of opposition to new gun regulations is in the white community. Yet white people face far less daily violence with guns.
It seems that the only gun violence some leftists approve of is gun violence aimed at cops and other groups they see as oppressive or racist.
Gun violence is a plague in all of our communities, and we must come together to stop it.
I truly believe that firearms in the hands of law abiding citizen's makes our families and our communities more safe, not less safe.
In truth, there is no rational argument for guns in this society. This is no longer a frontier nation in which people hunt their own food. It is a crowded, overwhelmingly urban country in which letting people have access to guns is a continuing disaster.
This battle for 'common-sense' gun control laws pits emotion and passion against logic and reason. All too often in such a contest, logic loses. So, expect more meaningless, if not harmful, 'gun control' legislation. Good news - if you're a crook.
It's not a gun control problem; it's a cultural control problem.
Getting guns off the streets does make communities safer. We can't stand here and say because we don't have the perfect solution, we shouldn't try.
