Tyron Woodley (UFC Fighter) gives his view on gun rights...

Start at the 6:48 mark to miss the insanity about some idiot named Tekashi69 (weird looking rapper dude).

My point?  People have held up their hands and believe that they're right because they believe most people agree with them.  Did you see the pushback on this that Woodley gave and the expression of the dude he was talking too? It was almost like they were discussing religion!

What was the news just last week (before the shooting)?  Black women are buying guns!

via US News and World Report.

Sitting in a classroom above a gun range, a woman hesitantly says she isn't sure she could ever shoot and kill someone, even to protect herself. Couldn't she just aim for their leg and try to maim them?

Her instructor says self-defense is not about killing someone, but is instead about eliminating a threat.

If the gun gets taken away by a bad guy, the instructor says, "I promise you they're not going to be having any sympathy or going through the thought process you are."

Gently she adds that if the student isn't comfortable with the lethal potential of the gun, buying one might not be for her.

Marchelle Tigner is on a mission: to train at least 1 million women how to shoot a firearm. She had spent no time around guns before joining the National Guard. Now, as a survivor of domestic violence and sexual assault, she wants to give other women of color the training she hadn't had.

"It's important, especially for black women, to learn how to shoot," Tigner said, noting that black women are more likely to be victims of domestic violence. "We need to learn how to defend ourselves."

Story here.

You want to talk about the arch of history?  Facts are strange things.  According to FBI statistics major crime has been going down for years.

So why do people feel so unsafe?

Terrorism?

Not likely, not if we're to believe all the "we're so and so city strong"...and "we are not afraid" and finally  "we're not gonna let them tell us how to live our lives" mantra that is spouted.

Crime?

It's going down like I said.

Domestic violence?

It's practically a professional death sentence for a man.  If you're reported to police in many places THEY MUST take you to jail.

So why?

Because statistics are meaningless and people, even black women..the MOST FAITHFUL part of the democratic base are becoming gun owners because they are REALIZING that at the end of the day its up to them to protect themselves (especially in a community that has allowed the institution of marriage to be destroyed by forces within and outside of it).

Never thought I'd be saying this but here ya go.

Don't trust polls.

The Trump victory proved something and our society is pushing us closer to it everyday.

I believe that people will say in public things that they don't believe in order to "not rock the boat" and to be accepted.  What they actually think is possibly something different.

You're probably seeing that with the gun debate.

Oh.  One last thing.  SPARE ME THE NOTES ABOUT WHAT OTHER COUNTRIES DO. I DON'T CARE.  This is America.  We go our own way.  Fuck this collectivism crap that has infected the world.
