    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?
