(23,897 posts)I guarantee this clown hasn't dealt with the ATF or the BLM himself, and likely he doesn't know anyone who has. But he's heard stories I am sure... Minorities in the inner city almost without exception, have had their rights trampled on by the police.
This guy is honestly comparing his paranoid anti government stance with the plight of blacks who are being harassed, beaten, jailed, and killed every day.
His only dealings with the ATF would be if he not only possessed illegal automatic weapons (They could care less if he owns them really), but if he chose to shoot off those illegal weapons close enough to people that they'd complain about it. Or if he illegally grazed his livestock on land that wasn't his the BLM might write him ten letters, visit him a couple times, and spend several years trying to get him to stop breaking the law before finally taking any action. This is not comparable to someone in the city wanting to be able to walk to the store for some candy without fear of arrest and harassment from the police. Not comparable to a family wanting to be able to hold a back yard BBQ without the police showing up and beating people.
It's insulting, this guy has no idea what it's like to live in fear of law enforcement. He thinks his guns matter, they don't. He's walking around by himself thinking an imaginary boogie man is right around the corner and then equating it to the mass harassment and violation minorities face every single day/
