I’ll freely admit that some of the things that anti-2A people do simply confuse me. Mind you, it’s not because I’m stupid or clueless. I understand what they’re doing. What confuses me is how otherwise-intelligent people come to conclusions that make absolutely no sense when you look at the real world.
Take, for example, a proposal from one anti-2A / pro gun control organization. According to one writer, this organization is looking to start buying guns for people. Yes, they’re wanting to do that in order to cause more gun control to be implemented.
Scratching your head, yet?
Well, there is a convoluted “logic” to their thinking, but you have to already have a very set way of thinking about another issue and a blanket bias against, frankly, most of the people in the United States for it to make any “sense,” if you will. Jeff Charles writes,
Progressive activists concerned about gun violence are launching a campaign to drum up the support they need to pass more restrictive gun laws. The group plans to purchase an AR-15 for every eligible black American to scare Republicans into backing stricter regulations on firearms.
“We’ve known for a long time that racist Republicans are terrified at the thought of black men owning guns,” said Shelby Harris, chief operating officer of “Unpull the Trigger,” a non-profit anti-gun group. “By making sure every black man has a rifle, we can finally get Republicans to support universal background checks, gun buybacks, and confiscation of assault weapons.”
Dubbed the “Scare the Racists Straight” initiative, this controversial proposal is intended to get Republican politicians and their conservative constituents on board with the effort to limit gun ownership as much as possible.
“It’s a really exciting project,” said Tiffany Petit. “When these racist rednecks see video after video of black men shooting assault weapons at the range and carrying them in public, they’ll get on the phone immediately to tell their Congressperson to support more gun control pronto!”
Charles continues:
When asked about the research the group has conducted about Republican attitudes towards black men with guns, he told The Smattering that it involved “at least three hours on social media and a few hours of MSNBC.”
I asked if he had actually had conversations with folks on the right to gauge their opinions. “Eww, no way. Why would I do that? Rachel Maddow tells me everything I need to know about those people,” Lassiter spurted.
Okay, Charles’s article is satire, and (as far as we know at this point) this isn’t actually being proposed by anyone. But like so many Babylon Bee articles, it works as satire because there are nutcases on the political left who think that Americans oppose gun control because they’re trying to oppress minorities. No matter what the truth is. (And it’s scary how many Babylon Bee satire pieces turned into reality during the Biden administration. I’m not kidding about that.)
We live in a crazy, mixed up world that thinks that gun ownership is racist but gun control (which was implemented in the U.S. for racist reasons) isn’t.
And, sadly, there seem to be quite a few people on the political left (which is where most gun control advocates live politically) who can’t tell truth from reality (and, in case any leftists are reading this, the truth is that gun rights advocates are great with people of every ethnicity owning guns. It’s not about DNA. It’s about character and decency.).
So, have a laugh at this, and remember that there are a lot of people out there who deny reality. And those are the dangerous ones.
What a fucked up place we are. You can put ARs in any colors hand, that are legally allowed! Democraps are, by far, the dumbest PsOS to ever walk this earth.
Your last statement about denying reality, should be on signs every mile on every Highway and major road in the nation.
It perfectly sums up the vast majority of Loony Left ideas.
I wish that these crazy gun control people would actually do this. Then they all could be arrested for “straw man” gun purchases. It’s a federal felony to purchase a gun for another person when that person’s background check status is unknown.
IF an anti2A group were to buy an AR-15 for ‘every eligible black man’ they would hopefully soon find themselves under arrest for being the straw person in a straw man purchase.
Shhhhh. don’t tell them that.
if my memory serves me right which it usually does unless the GF or wife asks me where I was at all night. it was the DemonRats that disarmed all of the Blacks after the Civil war, it’s been the DemonRats that don’t want anyone other than themselves owning guns of any kind. thew LEFT/DemonRats/Communists hate the idea of anyone being able to protect themselves .
The very thought of buying a gun for a black man and using that gesture to create false paranoia, is in and of itself RACIST! Leave it to the communist left KKK dumbasscrats to try and wrangle the blacks back into slavery! I can’t wait for this one to backfire!
ANOTHER BUNCH OF CLUELESS MORONS. I SAY GO FOR IT, IT WILL BE THAT MANY MORE ARMED PEOPLE TO HELP KEEP THE GOVERNMENT’S BOOT OF TYRANNY OFF THEIR NECKS. THEY’RE NOT AS STUPID AS YOU IDIOTS SEEM TO THINK THEY ARE. DEMOCRAT THE PARTY OF THE KKK. CAN’T ARGUE WITH HISTORY,ALTHOUGH THEY TRY TO REWRITE IT.
GO AHEAD AND GIVE LAW ABIDING BLACKS AR 15’S, it will do more against black on black crime than it will worry me …OH THAT IS RIGHT THEY THINK THEY HAVE ALL THE BLACKS ON THEIR PLANTATION …
“” “WE’VE KNOWN FOR A LONG TIME THAT RACIST REPUBLICANS ARE TERRIFIED AT THE THOUGHT OF BLACK MEN OWNING GUNS,” SAID SHELBY HARRIS, CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER OF “UNPULL THE TRIGGER,”
WASN’T IT THE RACIST DEMOCRATS THAT CAME UP WITH ALL THE JIM CROW LAWS THAT KEPT BLACK MEN AND WOMEN FROM HAVING GUNS ???
Isn’t it the democrat city’s with all the anti-gun laws that are having all the shootings ???
It’s a parody website. It’s sort of like the onion and you fell for it.
A black man with a rifle? Actually, this is NOT what a conservative feels! Any mature adult with a rifle is fine, providing he/she takes proper care and control of it! I have a mixed family next door, and if they have rifles, I don’t know, and don’t care! They are NOT brandishing them on any and every occasion as do some gun-proponents, nor SCREAMING (or fainting?), at the sight of someone who who may! If the neighbor DOES have a gun and should I be threatened, I’d hope he comes to my defense! I would certainly go to his, providing I had arms!
There seems to be a lot of “common sense” in these comments which is sorely lacking on the Left side!
Surely there is none of it in the “common sense” gun control laws that the Left proposes! It encourages me that our country is going to be OK when I hear these thoughts abounding! Lately, at gun shows I have noticed quite a few black families (with kids) legally purchasing guns. This warms my “EVIL REPUBLICAN” heart, as it looks like more folks are enjoying their Constitutional rights! This is a good sign for our USA! May we recover from the Democrat nonsense, never again to fall under their control! Don’t be fooled, folks, the snake that fooled Eve is alive and well (although somewhat cognitively impaired) at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington, D.C.
Get them to buy a gun, than take it away. They need a HISTORY lesson about the dem parties restrictions sense the 1870s. As usual they turn the facts upside down.
