(1,499 posts)Of course, one of those groups is thrown up to white suburbanites as the reason they "need" to have a gun.
As for trying to use LGBT assaults as a diversion (and ignoring the fact that 90% of "2nd Amendment people" are ALSO out there fomenting anti-LGBT hatred), the question remains the same . . . Is the additional risk created by bringing a gun into the home, combined with the additional risk created by placing more guns into the stream of commerce (thus making them cheaper and easier to obtain), greater than the risk that the white suburbanites who are buying guns like they are Skittles will EVER face an immediate threat of serious bodily injury or death at the hands of anyone OTHER than the person who went with them to buy the gun in the first place (and who now has equal access to the same gun)?
