They would not have felt that the only way to keep themselves safe was to walk around armed like a gunfighter in a Clint Eastwood movie, and they would not have been forced to use a second amendment solution in the streets, on their wives, neighbors, children, random strangers, somebody who done somebody wrong, and Frankie would never have killed Johnnie, and that old song would never have been written by a prophet who foresaw the election of a black President.
