because i prefer a different method of gun violence and control than you does not mean i am against gun control.
I support universal background checks
I don't support AWB's
I support programs that help solve the problems of gun violence. I strongly support programs that foucs on the most at risk groups.
I don't believe that gun control equals bans and restrictive measures.
I support that persons that should not by law have guns dont and I support measures that make it difficult for them to get them
I do however 100% the RKBA and the 2nd amendment. And dont support restrictions that restrict unduly the rights of legal law abiding gun owners. I believe there is a balance to be found.
I don't believe EVERYone who owns a gun is a murder in waiting any more than i support the fact that EVERY banker is a theft or every man is a potential rapist because he has a penis.
I want to reduce the senseless slaughter or what is mostly young black men with the occasional innocent bystander getting the worse outcome far to often.
I have found many not to be for gun control gun safety or violence reduction but clearly state they are for civilian disarmament like UK, Japan, Aus. that i dont agree with.
But yeah if you want to discuss gun control and measures with a real young black male gun owner who has a ccw and supports the spirit of violence reduction I would love to continue to engage you and others on this forum/group. I always keep it respectful and try to provide some honest insight into how i and some of my fellow democrat gun owners who also are young minorities. in 2008 we were sportsmen for obama and non of us want more killings and senseless violence. i also like to point out in this forum how both sides play each other for money votes and power, how NYC and blomberg push states around to accept less gun control than NY/NYC has because of the fear NYC has of losing their laws.
i enjoy adult conversations and hate trolls on both sides of issues. I understand everyone wont agree but i hope everyone can pickup something useful in the exchange of ideas and opinions.
