Therefore, support for the 2nd Amendment is racist.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>This was determined by research participants being quicker to match photos of White people to gun rights phrases such as &#8220;self-protection&#8221; and &#8220;National Rifle Association&#8221; and photos of Black people to gun control phrases such as &#8220;waiting period&#8221; and &#8220;weapons ban.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of race, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/us\/personal-freedoms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gun ownership is pervasive amongst Americans<\/a> with 36% of Whites, 24% of Blacks, and 15% of Hispanics claiming gun ownership. There is, however, a political divide with 44% of Republicans claiming gun ownership compared to 20% of Democrats.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/psychology-group-claims-racism-linked-reduced-support-second-amendment\">Fox News<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Claiming gun ownership&#8217; &#8211; before or after that boating accident?\u00a0 And calling the methodology &#8220;suspect&#8221; is probably being too kind.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Uvalde petition asks Oasis Outback gun shop owner Klein to stop selling assault weapons and ammo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are at least a half-dozen listings for gun stores in Uvalde (my favorite is Liquornguns but aparently they don&#8217;t sell guns now), but this store sold the guns used in the school shooting so it&#8217;s their fault.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-tl066j-0 iMZqoB body-paragraph\">&#8220;Out of RESPECT for and in support of those affected by this catastrophe, we strongly urge you to cease the sale of assault rifles and the ammunition paired with them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-tl066j-0 iMZqoB body-paragraph\">The petition also asks for Klein to end the handling of gun transfers of this style of firearm from gun retail stores and manufacturers.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whio.com\/news\/national\/uvalde-residents\/UUS5UQDPY4DFODQJRSFI23TROQ\/\">WHIO7 News<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Well, they are up to 1656 signers which would be more impressive if it wasn&#8217;t a change.org internet petition. You can sign those from literally anywhere. The odds of all those 1656 signatures being from Uvalde? Texas? The US? Buehler?<\/p>\n<p><strong>NY Governor signs bill to make realistically-colored toy guns illegal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Remember a few years back when they started requiring airsoft and toy guns have bright orange caps on the muzzles so playing kids wouldn&#8217;t be shot? There were predictions then that criminals would cut off or paint the ends black to make toy guns more real-looking, and that possibly criminals would paint real guns with orange to make them look like toys. Well, now any toy gun painted black, blue, aluminum or silver is prohibited. Clear is OK.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Data from the governor\u2019s office show there have been 63 shootings since 1994 due to an imitation gun being mistaken for a real gun. Eight of the shootings were fatal, according to the data.<\/p>\n<p>The law follows a 2015 settlement reached between then-Attorney General Eric Schneiderman&#8217;s office and 30 retailers that sold realistic toy guns to people in New York. The law at the time required imitation guns sold in the state not be black, blue, silver or aluminum.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As written, this sure sounds redundant.\u00a0 At best, this is maybe going to prevent roughly one death every two and a half years. Sure seems there should be something more important to worry about.
