2. Wasn't there a situation in a southern state where the 3 Percenters white supremacist were

planning a big rally and a heavily armed, organized group of African Americans starting organizing a counter march. Long story short, the vast majority of 3 Percenters discovered that their lawns needed mowing that day. Unfortunately one of the guys among the armed African Americans got careless with his gun and wounded three people.

So yeah, maybe Black people buying up guns will lead to broad gun control. The interesting thing is if people are buying, they have to pass background checks in most cases, so it is not people with criminal records doing the buying.
