Joy Behar Says Gun Laws Will Definitely Change 'Once Black People Get Guns in This Country

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Joy Behar got blunt on Wednesday’s episode of “The View,” saying that if more Black people in the country owned guns, politicians would enact gun reform much quicker.

The hosts spent most of the Hot Topics discussion on gun reform once more, as they regularly have been since the horrific killing of 19 children and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas. In the days following the mass shooting, the women at the table have offered their thoughts on what will actually prompt congress to act, suggesting this week that forcing gun advocates to see “these graphic photographs of what these guns do to little kids bodies.”

The hosts got heated as most of them once again argued that AR-15s need to be taken off the market altogether. Host Joy Behar criticized the Republican party for effectively making that idea “a no-starter” though.

But conservative guest host Lindsey Granger, a gun owner herself, then told the story of a man in Connecticut who built his own AR-15 after his neighbor was hit by a home invasion, in which his family was killed. In the state, it is illegal to own an assault weapon, but according to Granger, there are rules that allow residents to build them. So, the man built the weapon and has it solely to protect his family.

She's right. Back in the 60s when Ronald Reagan was governor of California gun laws were made stricter after the Black Panthers entered the California assembly with their guns. California was open carry before that.

[TheRealNorth]

3. You might think so....

But they will enact laws and rules similar to what they do to make it harder for Black people to vote.

Black Americans Have Been Buying More Guns During The Pandemic

Black Americans accelerated their gun buying during the coronavirus pandemic, outpacing other demographic groups, even as President Joseph Biden vowed to ramp up gun control measures.

“We are arming ourselves for self-defense,” said Philip Smith, founder and president of the National African American Gun Association, an organization based in Griffin, Georgia, near Atlanta. “We are not arming ourselves to go out and attack. We just want to live our lives peacefully with our families and loved ones and we just don’t want to be attacked.”

There was a 58.2% increase in gun purchases by Black men and women during the first half of 2020, when the coronavirus pandemic swept through America, according to the most recent survey of gun retailers by the National Shooting Sports Foundation. The gun industry group said it was the highest firearms sales increase of any demographic.

14. I know, where the heck did she come up with that belief. nt

[BlueCheeseAgain]

7. Completely agree.

If every adult black male in America went out and got a gun, and also carried it everywhere it was allowed, we'd have gun control so fast.

[Straw Man]

15. So ...

If every adult black male in America went out and got a gun, and also carried it everywhere it was allowed, we'd have gun control so fast.

... would you consider that to be a positive outcome?

8. I guess she missed this:

9. Black people do have guns which mostly kill other black people

which is another reason they oppose restrictions.

11. ARE YOU KIDDING ME ???????????????????

I believe this is called The Dog Whistle Theory.

[Haggis 4 Breakfast]

12. Yes, because

it's all that Black on Black crime that is mass shooting schools, churches, supermarkets, Walmarts, synagogs, Asian beauty parlors, etc.

In case no one has caught on, ALL of the mass shootings that have taken place in this country have been by WHITE young men. According to the FBI, 75% have also been WHITE SUPREMACISTS.

But, yeah, it's Black people with guns . . . . .

[JI7]

13. That's my point. It's not black people doing these type of shootings

Most of the shootings involving a black shooter are against other black people and involved some dispute although innocent people too often get killed.

Which is why they aren't going to support gun control in these cases.

10. When black neighborhoods started seeing gun crimes in the 70s

Richard Nixon proposed a COMPLETE handgun ban for civilians.

He was also a big fan of universal healthcare!

Too bad he was such a racist crook!
