I'm from a "red" area so I see this civil war crap on my far right wing friends feeds at least once a year. Don't gaslight me. I mean, they look stupid and I say nothing, but these idiots actually think there are armies of facist leftists coming for them. Even if we have guns, we aren't coming for you guys.

Uh huh. Now tell us about the idiots right here on DCUM who keep hoping for red areas of the country to leave the US. Thread after thread with exactly the same nutty comments, hoping for civil war. You were saying something about gaslighting?

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.

Clearly, someone always takes everything at face value. Black women have lived through far worse in terms of crime. But it’s been awhile since the racist good old boys have been so out and proud, the fundies so looney, and the cops so useless. These ladies are not going to find themselves sitting around waiting to get Tulsa’d again.

Disgusting exploitation.

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

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.

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.

Just to clarify, did you survey them all? Do you know them all?

I think that anyone who thinks that more guns make a community safer from gun violence has been duped by gun industry propaganda, because they have NOT been reading scientific literature or looking at data. ALL people that is (so you can group white conservatives in there, though you keep wanting to make this a racially polarizing discussion).

Amen. Everyone walking around with a gun isn’t going to reduce crime or help black neighborhoods. More guns = bigger poop show.

I’ll take black women being armed over white men any day.

Good, the 2nd amendment is made for everyone. The elected would have you believe only they should be timed to protect themselves because they have the money for security or they get is as a benefit for being a slimy politician.

The ability to protect yourself is a natural right. So good for these ladies

Look at countries that have banned the sales and ownership of guns like the UK or Japan. Gun crimes rarely happen there because guns just aren’t available.

The 2nd amendment is the opposite of protection it legalises bad people having guns, more than that, they have the RIGHT to own guns. It’s madness.

Aren’t you so proud of your self! We are living in a war state. You big boy you you have your war state. Now even the disadvantaged are getting guns. Looks like your little war dreams are coming true. Companies always look out for the greater good. Yes they do!

A "war state." Are you out of your ever-lovin' mind?

WAR state.
