I did too. It just doesn’t matter. It’s a pointless point. Especially when a lot of these are by white supremacists. Y’all forgot about the church shooting? The grocery store shooting? We still the targets. But it’s ok as long as niggas went through it in the 80’s and now some white people are going through it.
And it’s funny how y’all want to delineate between “beef” and street related shootings when defining mass shootings (which I agree with), but now want to conflate these same incidents with random mass shootings to make the chickens roosting argument. That shit y’all describe in the 80’s in black communities ain’t this and requires a different approach.
It's not. I think if you were my age, you'd understand where I'm coming from more than you do.
I'm not conflating the incidents, just pointing out that when we die, it's no big deal as far as white America is concerned. When they die,
that's when something must be done. Whether street beef or mass shooting, the end result is the same: Outrage when the faces are white, not so much when they're Black; that's all I'm trying to get y'all to see. That plus the media barrage surrounding has the effect of getting y'all as incensed as they are when the same media largely ignores our continued plight.
Yes but the gun crowd does start saying stuff like the government will take the guns away which maybe could happen but idk. I don’t think anybody has offered any realistic solutions
I believe it was the Highland Park thread that I agreed with
@TheNightKing to raise the age for all gun sales to 21. I did have to point out, however, that such a move wouldn't have stopped a lot of the shootings that have happened as the perps were all over 21, however, it's one I still support.
I do genuinely believe that properly enforced red flag laws would stop far more of these than anything else.
I've also championed universal background checks like we had back in Nevada. Private sales, gun shows, and everything in between has to have an NICS background check run.
