The best way to get responsible gun control measures passed

If all African Americans and Latino Americans started buying guns en masse. If there was a real movement to get African Americans and Latinos to buy and own guns, then, and only then, would there be the political will by the White majority to pass responsible gun control measures.

...disarm?

Even in a fake democracy, people should get what they want occasionally.

EDIT: Although I'm almost about to rescind my distaste for underhanded tactics on this one, because that's downright funny on second consideration, too. Can you imagine their reaction?

Even St Ronnie was all for gun control once the black panthers started to excerise their right to own guns

The entire history of modern gun ownership and rights is inter twined with racism.

everyone, especially the lawmakers, see photographs of the actual carnage caused by guns. What happens isn't pretty, and shouldn't be swept under the rug.

Our local club is cooperating with other clubs in the area to take out a local representative. We can do this. Time to be strong and take action.
