I was speaking historically there. If African tribes would have had firearms, do you think they would have been enslaved? If the Jews had firearms (the Nazis disarmed the Jews) do you think 6 million of them would have been killed? I do firmly believe that if we allow ourselves to be disarmed, eventually, maybe not in the next few generations, but eventually, the kind of stuff the Nazis did or what is going on over in the Middle East could surely happen here. Another thing here is it seems to me African-Americans have been voting against their self-interests for 50 years voting for Democrats. What has the Democrat Party done to improve the lives of black people? They do everything they can to keep people of all races, but it seems to fall more on blacks, depending on the government. The whole thing with open borders defies logic to me. We have over 90million people out of the work force as it is, how do we find employment for who is brought in? And who suffers most? Lower middle class to poor blacks, Hispanics, and yes, whites.
The 2nd Amendment is decidedly not an entitlement issue. You are flat out wrong there. It is a right endowed in or Constitution. The problem is not with guns, but with society. Are we going to amend our Constitution because some in society cannot handle the freedoms they have been blessed with? Are you willing to do that with other things? I have heard defenses of criminal acts being that they did it because of something they heard in the music they were listening to or a movie or video game or whatever. You OK with censorship, or is it only guns? There has to be some consistency there.
Lastly, I did not assume anything. You do seem like someone who has thought about many of these issues. However, you painted all Trump people with a broad brush in one of your statements, which is why I responded the way I did.
