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

as horrible as that sounds, you’re probably right….anyone who’s not White rich and straight …is in jeopardy
Absolutely
They'll do it when MAGA realizes they're screwed too.
Excellent solution
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
May I ask why? As a black man also, I've wanted to go to one but figured I'd get ignored or harassed. I'm trying to go about it the legal way.
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.
Reagan did as governor of California because of the Black Panther movement
It was the Black Panthers arming themselves that made Reagan pass gun control in California.
I’ll never understand why those who can, haven’t.
They’d also start passing gun confiscation laws.
And every woman.
No. We have been buying guns. Buying more now. What we do is not go on social media talking about.
Ding ding ding, we have a winner.
this part
Do you really think that they’d get the number of who’s buying what from social media posts? My question, for those that support strict gun control laws is would they support the laws if they were meant to restrict a certain group, based on race and ethnicity, from buying guns?
Sorry we missed you in Mexico.
That actually is the origin of the modern gun control movement. The Black Panthers saying they would defend their communities with arms. A bridge too far.
Here's an idea; a liberal billionaire buys guns for only black and brown people. If a white boy from Africa can buy a president then a liberal can support a militia. Per the 2nd amendment.
I have a better idea. Well-regulated in the 18th century tended to be something like well-organized, well-armed, well-disciplined. Why not have the govt fund the right to keep and bear arms. They can give vouchers to the people to buy their arms and ammunition.
What qualifies as a “brown people”? Anyone who is considered “White, Hispanic / Latino” is counted as not being white so would that count as “brown people”?
Anyone not white. Anyone.
You can be white and Latino, though… Latino doesn’t represent skin color. That’s why white is “white non Hispanic/ Latino”. There are a whole bunch of people who aren’t white but they aren’t brown.
Let’s do it ✌🏻
probably, Elayne 🤦♀️🤷♀️
Just keep track of the Trump flags, they're basically resupply depots when you need more rounds.
😂😂👏👏👏 Great point!!
Maybe so -- but surely we can come up w/a better solution, if we fight hard enough to make it happen? = VOTE & FIGHT for gun policy changes, at every level. Thanks.
Where can I donate? I don't own a gun and I don't want to, but the good guys need to be equipped.
Regardless…
Word
Yep.
capitolweekly.net/black-panthe... I'm old enough to remember😎 The Black Panther's action resulted in swift approval of Mulford’s bill. Mulford even added a clause barring anyone but law enforcement from bringing a loaded firearm into the Capitol. Reagan quickly signed the bill.
True!
Truth! Regan is the one who put the strict gun regulations in place in California. All because the black panthers were exercising their rights.
Gun laws would change overnight if Black and brown folks all armed themselves. That tells you everything.
Very true. Probably not the best plan but….
And they absolutely should be arming themselves.
Considering how porous gun licensing and tracking is, they probably won't even notice.
Single women who were first time gun buyers showed the greatest uptick in gun ownership over the last 4 years. That's pretty awesome. We in 3D2A welcome all to the militia!
They don’t ask people why they buy their firearms. Women have been buying firearms for quite some time. Republicans haven’t called for a gun ban. Democrats don’t really believe the rhetoric about Trump being a fascist dictator. If they did, would they insist that the govt take the guns away?
That's why California has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation. Reagan got scared. californialocal.com/localnews/st...
🎯
Trump admin is redefining mental illness guidelines to expand the count. It will include more people, like legal weed smokers and lgbtq by the time they’re done. They will deny firearms to ppl considered ill, including removing them from ppl. Then the majority of gun owners will be MAGA militia.
The reason they don't want gun control is they want to keep control of the guns. It's the God-given right the Indians didn't get, for ex.
May not be the type of gun laws you're thinking
yup
True
That’s what happened in CA when the Black Panthers were armed.
When the powerball gets high, I like to piss off racists by telling them I am going to use the proceeds to arm Black Lives Matter. They lose their fucking minds. Morons.
You’d think that would make the racists happy… Isn’t it the racists that insist that there is a hierarchy among people based on race?
None of it makes any damn sense to me. Nobody can be everything to anyone. Yet we shun people who can help us develop a sense of the world you wouldn’t otherwise have, because they look or believe differently. I take vacation precisely because I love diversity. I want my whole life to be diverse
You’re replying to maga trash. They’re insinuating that BLM is a some sort of Black supremacy group, for some incompetent reason.
I have never understood why people think if someone who wants a seat at the table, that person wants their seat to their exclusion. Some sort of victim mentality? I just don’t have energy to focus on people who are THAT self-unaware. They don’t stand for anything.
Deep insecurity and groomed hatred is the best I’ve ever surmised.
Some of it for sure. But I was groomed to hate. One thing I can say with certainty is I have never felt like a victim.
It takes determination.
Once you see the problem, how can you not work to solve it? This seems like a big fucking problem so it is going to take a lot of work. When I became an empty nester, I slowed down enough to see the problem and it is soul crushing.
You’d think that more general awareness of our limited time might discourage wasting it on hating and blaming others for whatever reason. On the other hand, maybe the distraction in being focused on hating others is a comforting distraction.
If people want a seat at the table, they should work for that seat at the table. I worked to build a company and I set my own table. I don’t have a victim mentality and that’s exactly why I don’t like BLM. I’m not a victim of the sins visited on my an ancestors and neither is anyone else.
Naturally. One of the faults that causes me the most pain is I take people at face value and chose to believe the best until they prove otherwise. I was not sure what they were saying, it made no sense.
Nothing wrong with that. They were purposely being vague. It was a dog whistle on a common racist narrative on the right. People shouldn’t be irredeemable trash. That’s where the issue lies.
The right completely abandoned intellectual honesty in 2008. I haven’t paid much attention to them or their arguments since. Every now and again I tuned to Fox cause I am curious how they are going to spin some ghastly event. They just don’t cover it so it wasn’t fun anymore. Thanks!
Yeah, this narrative purposefully misrepresents the meaning behind the BLM movement as a “Black pride” counterbalance to historical “White pride”, which is just racist BS.
What people will do to rationalize the unreasonable, will never cease to amaze me.
It’s one of the few constants.
I run a company and I can’t promote diversity. That means that I can’t use race ethnicity or gender to hire or promote people in the company. My team is diverse but not by design. It’s diverse because they just happen to come from many races and ethnicities, both genders.
What do you mean “I want my whole to be diverse”? Does it mean that you accept different views? What does it means to take vacations because you love diversity? I don’t think BLM promoted diversity. I think they pushed a false narrative and exploited people and inflamed mobs that did a lot of harm
Pretty sure they’d just pass laws saying non-Europeans don’t qualify as citizens (or at least that descendants of slaves or continental American natives don’t, which to them covers all black and brown people) and then start (likely literally) targeting all non-whites as illegal immigrants.
I have been saying this FOR YEARS!
Nothing scares fragile Qwhite Bois so much as their supposed "lessers" enjoying the same Rights
Don't forget the women! Women need to protect themselves because it's obvious that our government won't protect them either.
Let's do it! Oh. I'm not black or brown. But that's alright. I think we all need guns now.
If every “person of color” bought a gun and they’d pass gun control laws tomorrow, would you be for those gun control laws?
They don't need to buy. Registration alone would have the NRA in a panic! And it's a lot cheaper.
who registers their guns lmao
They'll see all the registrations being filed.
what registrations? guns don’t need to be registered
In the US, it is generally illegal to possess firearms that are not registered in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record (NFRTR) 1934. This applies specifically to National Firearms Act (NFA) of 1934.
that only applies to NFA firearms like machine guns and SBRs. there is no national registry for most guns.
And trans!
Yes- they would pass a law that people of color are not allowed to have guns. They keep changing the rules.
not equal laws, mind. same with voter suppression and drug laws. it's never equally applied. american exceptionalism: laws for everyone, except for white racists.
I think black and brown people living in the US buying a firearm a.s.a.p. is prudent.
EVERY citizen SHOULD buy a small caliber hand gun, license it, train on it, because imitation ICE agents are out there.
When the Black Panthers started marching with guns in California, there were guns laws put in place REALLY fast.
by reagan!
I wonder what Charlton “from my cold, dead hands” Heston would think now that automatic and semi automatic guns are so popular.
This was back in 2020. Where are all the gun bans? The only people that I see calling for gun bans are Democrats…🤔
Oh, if they're FOR the regime, then it's okay.
and every woman
and every woman
In the ‘60s, gun control became important when the Black Panthers armed themselves . Just sayin’!
They would call marshal law, bring tanks, shoot first and never ask questions cuz they are that fucken racist and dumb! I have never loathed any group of people like I do this dumb ass WH administration!!
