Black women embracing guns as crime soars

[Anonymous]

Interesting. Can’t say I blame these women who are living amid high rates of violent crime, and criminals who are let out onto the streets early - if they’re locked up at all.

The NRA has also marketed heavily to this demographic, as the tobacco industry did with cigarettes.

Disgusting exploitation.

Have you ever been stalked by an abusive ex?

Black women have a lot of experience with white, Christian men claiming dominion over their bodies in the name of God and Natural Law. Maybe they are really arming themselves to protect their bodies from a tyrannical government.

Clearly, someone didn't bother to read the article. These women are arming themselves to protect against the violence in their own communities. Nice try, though.

Are you implying this particular group of people are unable to think critically for themselves? Wow.

I don't shoot nor do I own guns but I have visited a gun range recently.

It is all demographics at the gun range.

Hispanic folk, African American, and also white. I expected only white middle aged guys but they were in the minority.

No, I am in public health, and we learn how the tobacco industry targeted minorities (as well as low income countries), as new markets to get addicted to their products. You see, I actually work on behalf of the underserved in the world, I don’t talk a big game while working to benefit myself.

What is your problem??? Companies don’t market as an insult. It is a strategy to make more profits.

You sound like a knee jerk , one note intellectual lightweight, who watches MSNBC instead of reading and thinking for yourself.

You have the right to protect yourself, no matter what color you are.

Here are some facts, if you ever tire of grandstanding:

Actually, that is a great organization to contribute to.

And I suspect this whole thread may have been started by the NRA or the RNC.

Black women cannot think for themselves - left wing intellectuals are the new crackers who will decide what is ok and what is not for black women

"Crackers" ?

Sounds like the racist is calling the kettle black.

So because they are minorities and/or low-income, they are somehow victims of exploitation by the tobacco and gun lobbies? They aren't able to think critically? The bigotry of low expectations raises its ugly head, yet again.

I'm actually a moderate conservative who wouldn't watch MSNBC if you paid me. As usual, the left treats minorities as victims, wholly unable to think for themselves. These black women have decided to arm themselves because they are SICK of being victims in their own communities. More power to them.
