Look, I’m not your enemy here.

I wanted a gun because I live alone. Also, I think it’s important that more Black people educate themselves about guns and become gun owners. I don’t think guns are for everyone. But, it’s important to look at what’s happening around you. If we don’t educate ourselves, we become like sitting ducks.

Again, I’m 100% for gun reform. While I continue to vote for people who will make this happen, I’m making sure I can protect myself if need be.

As it is right now, it’ll take decades for us to see any change after we enact common-sense gun reform.

thanks for the contributing to the problem of gun violence in this country. Gullible people watch fox news and think crime is out of control, they rush out and buy a bunch of weapons of war. Some eventually have mental issues or have stress or their kids get bullied and suddenly they either turn the gun on themselves or go out and hurt a lot of people. It's just tragic at this point.[/quote]

Your hysteria and hyperbole helps absolutely nothing. I am not contributing to the problem of gun violence in this country.[/quote]

How is it hyperbolic to claim that gullible people buy guns and become a menace to society? Did you think the sandy hook mom bought guns knowing her autistic kid would go on a shooting spree. Nobody think they are a gun nutter, you all think you are “responsible” gun owners and it has done nothing to stop tragedies in this country.[/quote]

I agree that it’s tragic. And the SH mom shouldn’t have been able to have the arsenal of guns she had…especially since her son was previously reported for his behavior.

As a single Black woman, however, I will not sit unarmed waiting for this country to enact common-sense gun laws. I’ve felt threatened for many years now. Unlike many others, I’m making sure I’m properly trained and educated on the use of my gun.

I also vote every damn election for people who want the same gun reform I do.

Disparage me, call me names… I don’t care. You might want to spend more time talking to the voting block who votes for this free-for-all gun state we live in. (Hint: It’s not Black women.)

You realize that the statistics show that your gun is far more likely to be used to kill / injure someone in your home than as part of any “self defense” scenario, right?[/quote]

You’d really need to see statistics where the gun is properly secured and the owner has training for that to be a fair statement.

Oh wait, we have those statistics. It’s Switzerland. And hint: they don’t have a problem with their firearms.[/quote]

Are you saying the NRA/Gun Lobby would be cool with those being legal requirements? Yeah, didn’t think so.[/quote]

Switzerland has border control. So there’s that[/quote]

What the hell does that have to do with anything?  The overwhelming majority of murders committed in the USA are being committed by US citizens born and raised here in the USA.[/quote]
