    I’m all for massive gun control reform. I’m also all for minorities being allowed to arm themselves since they are being hunted down by white supremacists just for going to the store. I’m for calling out assholes that tell minorities that they are the reason black kids get shot in the face.

      That’s a very disingenuous way of casting the argument. It has nothing to do with minorities, only with gun owners and supporters of gun ownership in general, regardless of race.

        No it’s not disingenuous. Bi_tux is a minority. Agitator told him that he’s the reason black kids get shot in the face. Bi_tux needs a gun in response to the hostility and violence of bigots. Ignoring bi_tux’s minority status and original statement because it’s inconvenient is kinda disingenuous though.

        Bi_tux (or any other minorities) having guns or not isn’t the cause of bigots shooting black kids in the face for ringing a doorbell.
