If every black person and every brown person in America bought a gun today, they'd pass gun control laws by tomorrow.

I love this in theory but it’s bait to get on a registry. Yes gun shows exist… but as a black man who has been to one, I cannot suggest it. We should arm ourselves. And do it legally, but it’s much harder than you’d think

No they wouldn't. Minority gun ownership rates have been skyrocketing over the last 10+ years. Only people to push gun control based on that are Democrats, which figures. All real freedom lovers need to know you can 3D print all the untraceable guns you want from TheGatalog.com.
