      Being black isn’t a choice. Owning a gun is. And gun owners keep telling me how they are and need to be responsible… but never take responsibility for all the gun crime.

        Most gun violence is gang/suicide/assault/robbery

        The outliers that generate more outrage are the mass shooters, racists and accidents involving children

        Pretty hard to take responsibility for any of those if you are not the perp

          Hush, you are ruining their narrative. Don’t you know statistics are racist?
