From the article:

“It tore me apart when I heard the news that my brother was shot, but I am disappointed that we as the black community fight against the police and ignore the gun violence in our community. If we as the black community allow this problem to continue then we are no better than the police that we are protesting against,” said Ghaunte' Lewis, Armani’s Uncle.

The part of the problem that Generation I refuses to see or acknowledge.

Oh they want to talk about it........notice the call for "more aggressive gun laws."

A culture that absolutely refuses to accept any responsibility.

Yep. When the grieving relatives spout nonsense like this...

“When kids have guns, it’s because of loopholes in the law that allow them to get them,” said Ashley Combs, Armani’s Aunt.

Then we know they’re ducking the issue of familial responsibility and trying to shift the blame to an inanimate boogeyman named “Loophole.”

BLM the movement is such a fraud... They get their panties in a wad over police brutality (as if they're the only ones on the receiving end of it) yet ignore the fact that...

The biggest threat to black people... Are.......

It's human nature. When things are out of control, we tend to focus on something we think we can control. Gun owners do it too everytime gun control comes up. We practically welcomed a bump stock ban to pacify those calling for more.

Not "we".... maybe politicians like Trump who were just looking for an 'easy' solution to appease the mob, and the NRA. I don't know many, if any, gun owners who welcomed it. Same with the upcoming (potential) pistol brace ban.

Yeah, it's just more incrementalism that "justifies" the ATF's existence. But yes, I agree.

Maybe it being welcomed wasn't the right phrase. I remember everyone being relieved it was only limited to bump stocks. The talk now about the pistol brace is the reason I put off getting one years ago after the last ruling. It's BS, but will be used to appease.

It's rather ridiculous we allow components of firearms to be regulated...

One day it will be triggers or firing pins.
