Daily reminder that gun control is racist.

Especially when you consider the harshest gun control laws tend to be in urban environments, which also tend to have significant minority populations. Why don't leftists want minorities to be able to defend themselves?

Because they need us to be constantly brainwashed, powerless and believe that they are looking out for us when in fact we're just voting pawns in their little plantations and they will ignore us and move onto the next oppressed minority or controversial issue like manspreading or misgendering.

Yeah, all those urban areas run almost exclusively by a certain political party have really turned out great, and really done well by everyone, huh.

So let's assume the GOP does at least decent this election cycle. What are the odds that we'll see something like national concealed carry anytime soon?

I mean, it would hardly be the first time Congress stuffed some lines into a law that had nothing to do with most of the rest of its content.

Though I suppose since the Supreme Court has long since become a de facto legislative body, we might get something good from them.

Guns are ok, but we need more than guns - tanks, missile launchers, grenades, etc. This would keep the government in check. Why do we need gun control? It's so retarded just like any control.

As long as you're not hurting anyone else, I see no issue with guns or any weapon.
Parody account. Not a legit account. This account is with the intention of experimenting with fitting oneself into the shoes of one with another political view, albeit in a somewhat humorous and comical manner.

I'm surprised it's such radio silence, though. It was only a few short months ago they were chomping at the bit over it. And we know there's no way in hell their base has all of a sudden seen the light about the issue.

Actually, I see quite a few ads promoting conceal carry. Then again, I do watch a lot of right-wing videos and stuff that supports guns. Maybe your watching patterns has an effect on what ads you see?

I would suspect they know it's a loosing position and turns people off during an election and would most likely turn voters off and vote for the other person or not vote at all.
McCaskill was caught on a hidden camera that she is all for gun control and all kinds of bans but has been keeping it quiet while out campaigning.

I use private mode, so it probably doesn't affect it too much. I mostly watch toy reviews and stuff on YT, so I doubt that tells YT what I am politically. Mayeb YT automatically assumes you're a gun control person, which I'm not?

Oh, if Youtube can tell what you are political just based off of toy reviews, you've got something to worry about lol,

but the ads were for concealed carry so YT (or maybe google in general) probably figured out that I like guns just based off of my browsing patterns
