    You supporting gun ownership means you support it for the people who want minorities murdered. You’re supporting things that make your life more dangerous, not less.

        Gun control for who, and in what circumstances? How would that be better than simply banning them?

          Gun control for who

          Minors and known terrorists for example.

          and in what circumstances?

          Things that should be obvios like don’t give your kids guns, or don’t randomly start shooting in public.

          Ofc it would be better than a complete gun ban. And I hate to say this, but as long as we have a goverment it’s the goverment’s job to make gun policies.

        It’s pretty clear from your comments that you do support it. Why are you trying to hide that now?

          I’m all for massive gun control reform. I’m also all for minorities being allowed to arm themselves since they are being hunted down by white supremacists just for going to the store. I’m for calling out assholes that tell minorities that they are the reason black kids get shot in the face.

            That’s a very disingenuous way of casting the argument. It has nothing to do with minorities, only with gun owners and supporters of gun ownership in general, regardless of race.

              No it’s not disingenuous. Bi_tux is a minority. Agitator told him that he’s the reason black kids get shot in the face. Bi_tux needs a gun in response to the hostility and violence of bigots. Ignoring bi_tux’s minority status and original statement because it’s inconvenient is kinda disingenuous though.

              Bi_tux (or any other minorities) having guns or not isn’t the cause of bigots shooting black kids in the face for ringing a doorbell.

                Yes, actually, it is. You either support gun rights and gun ownership or you don’t. If you do, you contribute to kids getting shot in the face. Minority status is irrelevant.

                  Oh contribute is different than being the cause. Like I said from the beginning. So no. No disingenuousness. Just poor reading skills on your part.

                    Lol. My part. Right. Nice job arguing semantics after all your other bullshit. I’m done with this conversation.
