Delete comment from: The War on Guns
Seeing how he likes to edit comments I think I'll put on record my entire comment:
Simply put you are wrong. The people you have been hearing from are people who have studied the history of disarmament of civilian populations and the ensuing slavery, abuses and even genocides enabled by such monstrously immoral policies.
It is obvious you have not studied any of the history of disarmament of civilians, nor even the history or your own people here in America.
If we all had addressed an assumption that the earth waa the center of the universe by saying and proving that it wasn't, that would not have shown coordination of effort. It would have shown that the positer of such a thought was ignorant, and he of course, would most probably accuse the informed of mounting a coordinated attack against him.
You say there are too many guns in the hands of inner city youth now. I can't disagree with that, but guess what youth are not legally allowed to carry guns. So who is left at the mercy of criminals? All those who obeyed the law and don't have a gun with which to discourage the criminals. Nothing discourages a criminal faster than his realization that he could be hurt or killed. So, your hypothesis that there are too many guns in the inner city fails because criminals have them and are not going to give them up. Therefore there are too few guns in the inner city. Or just entirely too many black people.
Think about that for a minute. Do some research on crime statistics, then remove all the black on black crimes from the results and see how much less crime there really is. Perhaps there are just too many black people. Well, all I can say is your advocated policy will correct that. Just keep the good folks helpless while you are unable to do anything about the criminal and there will be fewer and fewer black people, at least in the inner city.
Unlike you, I actually trust good people to do the right thing. And I prefer they have the tools to defend themselves and their loved ones. I don't care about their color, good people are good people. The other kind should not enjoy a tactical advantage over them. The real racist here would appear to be you. How does a man view his own race as so inferior that even the good law-abiding in it are not to be trusted with the tools of free men?
