Let’s just get right to it; some white folks are buying guns by the barrel load and believe me they’re not all “gun enthusiasts” afraid that Obama is going to impose some outrageous gun control laws in his term as president. Some of these people are getting ready for some idiotic notion that there is an impending race war coming. It has made me think twice about possibly purchasing a gun and taking lessons so that I will be able to protect myself and my family. I have never owned a gun in my life nor have I ever thought it would be necessary for me to own a gun; but the incidents of violence happening around the country are a bit upsetting and frightening.
You’ve got people saying stupid stuff like this:
“He’s a gun-snatcher,” said Jim Pruett, owner of Jim Pruett’s Guns and Ammo in northwest Houston, which was packed with shoppers on Thursday.
“He wants to take our guns from us and create a socialist society policed by his own police force,”
Gun Sales Are Up
What kind of dumb shit is that. This man is a moron, but you have to take morons like this seriously. You never know when a group of angry white people will accost you, hook you up to the back of some pickup and drag you for miles…remember James Byrd. Unfortunately you have to think about your safety first and the idiocy of their logic second.
I’m still not sure it’s the way I want to go, but I am going to discuss it with my family and seriously consider purchasing a handgun…it even pains me to say it.
We are truly a nation of minorities now and folks need to recognize that fact and live up to our nations creed (you know, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness). Minorities now outnumber the majority and we just want to live and love in this country like everyone else. If the crazy southern/religious/conservative fringe want to start a race war, they are going to have more than black folks to fight. We are a nation of immigrants — ALL OF US.
White folks always like to say if you don’t like it here in America, take your black ass back to Africa; well, if you don’t like it here in America, I say “Take Your White Ass Back to Europe,” England in particular and see what kind of reception you get.
Or, we can all live in this country peacefully without all of this unnecessary animus and I can put my fear of you and possible need for a handgun purchase to rest.
In the famous words of Rodney King, “Can’t we all just get along.”
Hating and fearing each other gets us no where; hate, ignorance and the angry mob mentality got us Reginald Denny and that tragedy.
Here’s another article on the subject.
Gun Sales Thriving
Stop letting your ignorance and fear be your guide. Leave your 50s mob mentality behind and come along with the rest of us to change this country and make it better for ALL OF US, not just the fortunate few.
As always, be well
