I will keep working to keep my state and local government Blue. That will be even more important than ever with the nightmare scenario of 4 more years of Trump.

Sadly, what I saw in Richmond (as the gun toting 2nd amendment went into the Capitol with weapons of war), it definitely makes you think long and hard. Open season? I don't think so.

Exactly. The funny thing is that once all the minority decide to yes, exercise their rights to legally own and have access to guns, semiautomatics, rifles, silencers, etc, then Trumpsters will want to follow a blue initiative to have better gun control. Scratch that. They’ll simply want to find a way to confiscate them all. It will be unconstitutional, but that is par for the course in their party.

Go gramma!

That is exactly what Dave Chappelle said. I think you and he are on to something. Btw, gramma ain't no fool!

Incisively, Chappelle argues, “Every able-bodied African-American must register for a legal firearm. That’s the only way they’ll change the law.” America will quickly reinterpret the 2nd Amendment.

In 1967, after the formation of the Black Panther Party, the Mulford Act, a bill to eliminate Californians’ rights to openly carry weapons was signed into law by Gov. Ronald Reagan.

In 1925, African-American physician Ossian Sweet moved into a white neighborhood in Detroit. When a white mob attacked his home, he and friends defended themselves, killing one person and wounding another in the process. Shortly after murder charges against Sweet and his compatriots were dismissed, Michigan’s Legislature granted county governments control over the issuance of gun licenses.

The high gun crime in places like Baltimore and Philadelphia and Chicago apparently has minimal influence on national gun control.....

The American elite (read: white people) doesn't care about black-on-black crime. Or, more accurately, poor-on-poor crime - because that's really the story of gun violence in Baltimore, Chicago, and Philly. Seriously.

They only time Republicans pretend to care about it is when they try to use it as a wedge issue to bash Democrats. Do you see any conservatives actively working in the inner cities to reduce violence and pull people out of poverty? I don't.

No offense, but what did Obama do during his 8 years to help his own city of Chicago? It went from terrible to deplorable during his administration. Neither side cares about the poor inner city people. Never have, never will. They don't pay taxes and they don't vote. It is disgusting, but it is true. Look how corrupt those politicians are in those cities too. All Dems.

I will watch my portfolio grow and use the proceeds to fund the resistance. I will not stand for an authoritarian state.

I will start donating to Pence to just keep things going.

Trump supporter here. I chuckle a bit when I see comments like this, knowing that I have friends and family who are Trump haters who really don't know where I stand. I let them rant and nod my head, but mostly try to steer the conversation away from politics. How will you know when you get to 100%? When it's just you and your cats?

Dp. Your relatives know where you stand and they keep in touch with you because you will listen to their rants. Even my friends who are worn out from Trump's fockery cannot hide their feelings when another sh1t show is revealed. Trust and believe we know where you stand.

I have visited Canada for years and absolutely love it. Who knows? Temp work visa with a sought after occupation to see if it fits? Maybe dust off those 4 years of high school French?

Same thing happened with the “war on drugs”. Crack use in minority communities destroyed as much as opioid use in white communities now. But only one epidemic (where more whites were being impacted) was declared a national emergency.

Now see, all this you laid outright here? All of these historical facts that you’re reminding us of? This is why the South didn’t want black slaves to learn how to read. Among other things.... Clearly your examples demonstrate that the government was made to protect white citizens; not minorities. As soon as the law was followed and whites were at a disadvantage, the law changed. No doubt there are many other examples. Many of us have already learned some of this the hard way.

And I love Dave, yes, and remember that standup. The double standards are always addressed,kinda like his bit on getting pulled over with a white guy in the driver seat. He’s right on point politically, and he says a lot of things that I’ve said for some time.

I don’t think it should just be AAs though, I truly think all minority citizens should register, just as they register to vote, or register to drive a car, or register to attend school. It’s a right. Exercise it. What would Democrat’s have to lose? Better gun control is something we want anyway. We also want exposure and revision of the suppressive policies made by old white men in power that fly under the radar. We would have settled for something simple, like the current President denouncing the endorsement of the KkK as an olive branch. But, in lieu of that - we will just continue exercising our rights, dutifully and responsibly.

Inner cities elect Democrats, have for decades, how can republicans do anything when democrats are in charge of cities?

Because Democrats alone can't pull people out of poverty. Neither can Republicans do it alone. That's the fallacy of your belief when you say "Why do they keep electing Democrats?" You really think inner city poverty in Baltimore would get better with a bunch of Republicans at the helm, slashing education and services budgets?

It requires all of us working together and sacrificing equally to pull up our fellow Americans.
