Lets ignore that three of the more recent high profile shooting events were by minorities. (Umpqua college, the Virginia TV crew shooting, DC Navy Yard)

We'll also overlook the inherent racism and massive stereotyping you seem to enjoy in most of your assumptions.

The majority (72%) of concealed carry permits issued in the first 6 months of availability in Illinois were to minorities in Chicago. The only people concerned about it was the white police superintendent and the Cook County Sheriff, also white. Not other gun owners or the NRA. In fact some of us teach free and reduced price classes to make sure the poor in Chicago have a choice to carry too.

In fact of the 4 cases in 2 years where a concealed carrier used their gun lawfully, 3 were by minorities.

Why don't you take your "Bubba" and other stereotypes somewhere else where they'll applaud your massive fails.

Where? beevul Nov 2015 #13

Your comment #15 is representative of extreme prohibitionism... Eleanors38 Nov 2015 #17

So your support of something in the Constitution is not extreme but my support is? LonePirate Nov 2015 #20

No. Your "gist" is prohibition. Eleanors38 Nov 2015 #21

I endorse confiscation once we embed it in the Constitution. LonePirate Nov 2015 #15

Is that supposed to be some sort of cover... beevul Nov 2015 #16

Tens of millions may feel that right is important but tens of millions also vote Republican. LonePirate Nov 2015 #18

And people are just supposed to agree with you... beevul Nov 2015 #22

If you want to talk objectively, then people obviously don't need guns - they simply want them. LonePirate Nov 2015 #27

Objectively. beevul Nov 2015 #29

I suppose you have a Scarlet Letter system to identify that alleged .1%, right? LonePirate Nov 2015 #31

By behavior. beevul Nov 2015 #32

You said to focus on the .1% but you never said how to do it. How are we to identify them? LonePirate Nov 2015 #33

No, I didn't. beevul Nov 2015 #36

Would you please take a guess at what percentage of gun owners would fight/kill jmg257 Nov 2015 #34

Impossible to say, really. Lizzie Poppet Nov 2015 #35

I think a majority of states would actively resist any such attempt Lurks Often Nov 2015 #50

Thanks (and Lizzy too). I didn't think of state reactions, etc. vs individuals. jmg257 Nov 2015 #53

Unlikely, states recognize it would never hold up to judicial scrutiny Lurks Often Nov 2015 #58

There might be an answer to that in the drug wars. Lizzie Poppet Nov 2015 #68

Perhaps, may even see some state actively prevent Federal law enforcement Lurks Often Nov 2015 #69
