(18,318 posts)Frankly, I don't care if you ask "white folks if they all go out and buy guns because some black man shot a white person somewhere."
What you ask or don't ask doesn't matter, but if you did ask my answer would be: "Some probably do, but most won't, either because they don't see the need, or they already have firearms, or they don't keep guns at all." It's a fair question.
My question addressed the willingness of some at DU to support the concept of lawful self-defense, esp. since they have identified oppression, racism and injustice signified by the Zimmerman acquittal. Any people or individual who feels oppressed has the right to lawfully defend themselves, IMO. I don't know if you agree with that concept, either
BTW, did you see Tavis Smiley's comments regarding blacks arming themselves to see what the NRA's reaction would be? It's in another thread.
