Same reason all the "good Muslims" stayed quiet in the post 911 years.  They stick together bro.  Don't ever forget it.

EVERYONE is buying guns now.

Crispus Atticus for starters. There were many free blacks and slaves that fought for the Patriots side.

Exactly. By and large they will continue to enthusiastically vote for those who will ultimately shred the 2A.

What are we celebrating again?

Considering over 70% of blacks agree with BLM, I don't want them buying guns. Why would we want Marxist revolutionaries arming themselves for an insurrection? Remember, most blacks believe that policing is a white supremacist, racist institution that specifically targets them for death. We should be very concerned over these people arming themselves in mass. They want revenge for non-existent slights.

If the other side keeps buying guns and keeps shooting their own people, it won't be a problem.

Exactly

You would actually think they would but..

Me, too.

Good... Some of them live in bad neighborhoods. Everybody has the right to protect themselves.

Shit, I forgot to buy stock in HiPoint and UTG.

No, I think he saying we shouldn’t be blindly celebrating everyone arming themselves regardless of their motivations or politics.  I don’t want more commies or ethnocentrics with guns, regardless of race.

Yup and another way to protect themselves would be to NOT for dumbass democrat politicians.

%90+/- will still vote for a democratic president that promises preferential racial hiring, preferential racial college admission, free college, free health care, easier to obtain welfare, draconian gun control, and criminal justice “reform”(abolishment).

Please stop kissing ass of those who want to impose their will on you because they are literally dumb enough to vote their guns out of use.

I spent many of my early years in CT.

I can't tell you how many CT gun owners thought republicans were the ones that banned guns...

They'll see what the want to see. The percentage of people that are able to observe, absorb, and adjust is diminishingly small.

Early on, it looked as though the issue of African-Americans serving in the Continental Army would be resolved simply enough. Only days after taking command in 1775, Gen. George Washington decreed that no black, free or enslaved, could be recruited to fight.

As a Virginian and slave owner, Washington was reacting to southerners' fear that arming blacks would lead to slave rebellions. Additionally, many white soldiers expressed disdain at the notion of fighting alongside men they considered inferior. So a deal was struck: Those free blacks serving in northern regiments, most of which first fought in state and local militias, would be able to finish their terms of service. Then Washington would have an all-white Army
But his plan didn't last long. Military realities soon forced him to reverse course, and blacks would fight on both sides of the Revolutionary War. Everything from a drastic shortage of soldiers to the differing colonial economies affected which side blacks ended up on, but by far the most important factor was the promise of freedom.

For both armies, the need for manpower trumped most other calculations. In November 1775, Lord Dunmore, the colonial governor of Virginia, issued a decree that infuriated colonists. "I do hereby further declare all indented servants, Negroes, or others, (appertaining to Rebels,) free, that are able and willing to bear arms, they joining His Majesty's Troops."
On the rebel side, meanwhile, the Colonies' inability to fill soldier quotas forced Washington in January 1777 to retract his decision barring free blacks. Roughly a year later, enough slaves in Rhode Island—promised freedom in exchange for military service—enlisted to fill two battalions. Most northern colonies soon followed suit. In a common practice, runaway slaves passed themselves off as free to join up. Often, particularly in Virginia, slaves fought as substitutes for their masters.

Deep South. For South Carolina and Georgia, it was a different story. Even with increasing pressure from Congress for additional manpower, those colonies would not arm slaves. In fact, many South Carolina rebels pledged loyalty to King George III to keep their slaves.

In the end, an estimated 5,000 African-Americans picked up arms to fight for independence, while many, many more worked as manual laborers. "They made a difference in terms of the size of the Continental Army," says Adele Logan Alexander, an associate history professor at George Washington University. "Washington, who was a brilliant general, understood that you could not have the disruptive impact of all those people going over to the British."

Once the Treaty of Paris was signed, ending the fighting, the fate of African-Americans would vary as much as their role in the war. Many who fought for the crown fled with the British Army. Some headed to the Caribbean while others left for Nova Scotia, London, or even a new colony in Sierra Leone.

Some who remained began to petition local and state governments for equal rights. "You have a sixth of the total population that is nonwhite," Alexander says. "And these people are starting to hear all this stuff about freedom and wondering why it shouldn't apply to them."

The Revolution did help launch an emancipation movement that would outlaw slavery in the North. But slavery became further entrenched in the South, and many decades would pass before the Declaration of Independence's assertion that "all men are created equal" would be applied universally.

Most of the really draconian gun control laws were written specifically to keep guns out of the hands of black southerners, and I’d be willing to bet that the most vocal ‘omigawd, blacks are arming up! We must do something about it, or at least get very angst-ridden’ don’t know or care.

It shouldn’t be any surprise that black and brown people like to shoot with other black or brown people. I certainly wouldn’t trust a lot of GD’ers to have my back any longer than it would take for them to put a bullet in it.

Should raise the death toll in the cities.

Your numbers are bs 70% don’t agree with BLM also most don’t think policing is a white supremacist racist institution.

How do you know? Did you take a knee and ask them?

Black people are buying LOTS of guns, huge lots according to the liberal media. The Italians are buying lots of guns too but that's beside the point. It's the black people that the media indicates we need to know about. Are you intimidated yet?

I always figured you were Edward James Olmos’ twin brother.

Because if anyone did proper research they would see that majority of them feel that BLM doesn’t represent their interest and that it’s being ran by majority whites that support the two lesbian blacks that started.

How often are you on your knees?

70% of blacks support BLM
70% of whites support KKK
70% of italians support the mob.


We are going to have a rootin tootin shootin good time!

Edward James Almost

I'm not sure disenfranchising is what anyone is talking about....we're all Americans. One country, one Constitution. That said, given some stark realities this is hardly grounds for celebration.

More racial hysterics.

Was more blacks then whites at ( public ) range today and some had some NICE stuff.
Suppressors, .500 Nitro Contender, FAs, etc

I have no idea how old you are but just as an example I watched the O.J. Simpson verdict live. But whatever network it was had a split screen showing the reaction from a white audience on one side, and the reaction of a black audience on the other side. Really blew my mind at the time!

That's just an example on a large scale. I'll spare you my personal grievances.

I’m closer to 50 than I am 45.

Given your observations from the OJ verdict and the makeup of BLM protests you can tell the difference between then and now.

I'm already there.  At least get suppressors out of there.

Sir I'm basing my thoughts on the double standards I see today. I happen to live in a quiet lily white area.

I will share one boring personal story. After serving in the Army as a reservist for 5 years. I spent another 4 years active duty Airforce. I was a heavy equipment operator in both branches. When I was honorably discharged, my brother in law said he had me a job lined up once I got home.  Well I went to see this person for a job and his exact words were. "Buddy I'd hire you but the State is making me hire a Ni****. His exact words.

That was 1990. Also lily white around here then.

My apologies for throwing the topic off course.

Yes I support any good folks of any color to their right to bear arms.

Again my apologies for sounding way more bigoted than I am at heart.

Yeah, assuming that all black people are leftists is not even close to reality.

FPNI

Every free man should be armed.

I am currently building an AR for a black co-worker.
You can go ahead and shun me now.

kind Sir, I didn’t take your statements as bigoted at all.  

Just some good conversation:)

Granted I was in DEN and Charlotte but I noticed a lot of black folks in the airports too last week

Why you gotta hate on me??

I have seen a war movie or two

True


My final APFT two mile run time at 45yrs old was 14:35, and why we gotta hate on smokers???

When I went to Ranger school at 38yrs old my five mile run time was 37ish minutes.

When I was a Ranger instructor in my 40s I ran around 13:30-14:00min two mile.

Girl, please.

The only racial hysterics I see around here are the usual folks losing their shit because black people are buying guns. If you’re not one of the Chicken Littles who see Zimbabwe Part Deux bearing down on them, then feel free to ignore my criticism, since it’s not meant for you.

Probably a good dude. It's the other 87% were worried about causing trouble.

Or whatever

Blacks are sick of the far left as well. Recent poll shows 81% of blacks want MORE police to protect their neighborhoods.

Blacks and whites will come together to defeat the Final Boss, whether it's with the ballot box or the cartridge box.
