http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2013/11/10/2921121/dallas-gun-advocates-protest-restaurant-gun-control-advocates/Referring to the Dallas incident (link above) where gun owners rallied with their weapons, in a parking lot, where an anti-gun group was meeting...
All white guys...
The next time these clowns try this crap - Pro-Gun Control groups should send it 100 black guys, all toting their guns to join the rally.
Or just start having loads of black guys have similar rallies...
I said the same thing about Occupy....want gun control? - start having ARMED Occupy rallies...!
These faux "revolutionaries" will be sent scurrying for their Sarah Palin DVDs...repeating the Pledge...etc...
The right will be begging for gun control....

100 black men, armed and using open carry will make a lot of cops and public officials sphincters clench, hard.

all "justified" under "stand your ground".

(39,171 posts)3. Why would black gun owners be pro-gun control?
Seems to to be a major flaw in your logic. The black gun owners I shoot with would say to you "screw both you and the open carry yahoos".

small towns, dressed like gangsta, with pistols on each hip.
Blazing Saddles.
Guns would be outlawed within 6 months!
