Turns out guns are important for protecting yourself against government overreach and abuse. Who knew?

Judging by how black people _thought_ to have guns are treated, I’d say white skin is better at protecting you.

>>jkestn+8D
I would say that is correct.

(Fascinating trivia: California allowed open carry until the Mulford Act in 1967 restricted it -- directly in response to the Black Panthers practicing it. The Act was signed into law by Ronald Reagan, with the explicit support of the National Rifle Association.)

Fun fact, the reason why california banned open carry was to prevent the black neighborhoods in Oakland from policing themselves as armed citizens: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulford_Act

Guns work very well when you're white. Not so well when you're black.
