(5,737 posts)Gun deaths are skyrocketing, and what do many people do? Go out and buy more guns. We have the NRA dictating policies on guns. We have a presidential candidate that is talking hate about many groups except white people. We have white people blaming blacks for not being able to stop killing other blacks in places like Chicago. We have false "charts" being put out showing the number of cops killed by blacks that is blatantly false. We have blacks being killed by cops over very minor offenses. We have already passed the number of police shooting deaths for all of last year.
What does all of this have in common? Guns, the easy access to guns. Toss in fears of all types and we get to where we are. Hell, we can't even get people on fly-watch lists banned from buying guns.
There is no turning back. There WILL be killings of blacks protesting the shooting deaths of blacks by cops. That is a done deal. We can't stop it. There WILL be retaliation killings by blacks over those killings. That is a done deal. We can't stop it. HOW THE HELL DID WE LET THIS HAPPEN????????? Near unfettered access to guns of all types and yet we do nothing. I blame ALL of us.
