the shooters will only try to take them out first...........

And if you arm the Blacks, it will give the cops just more phony justification to take them out. Just look at the rate they take out unarmed blacks for doing nothing but driving while black, or walking thru their own neighborhood while black........

A civilian carrying around a pistol is questionable enough, but any private citizen being allowed to pack around an assault weapon is pure insanity........
