- chipotle_coyote 6y agoI'm gunna go ahead and assume it was due to them being conservative white guys with guns.
- jtbayly 6y agoTurns out guns are important for protecting yourself against government overreach and abuse. Who knew?
- jkestner 6y agoJudging by how black people _thought_ to have guns are treated, I’d say white skin is better at protecting you.
- chipotle_coyote 6y agoI would say that is correct. (Fascinating trivia: California allowed open carry until the Mulford Act in 1967 restricted it -- directly in response to the Black Panthers practicing it. The Act was signed into law by Ronald Reagan, with the explicit support of the National Rifle Association.)
- mcv 6y agoGuns work very well when you're white. Not so well when you're black.
- monadic2 6y agoFun fact, the reason why california banned open carry was to prevent the black neighborhoods in Oakland from policing themselves as armed citizens: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulford_Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulford_Act
