This is a gun-culture meme that doesn't hold up to scrutiny. If it did, the NRA wouldn't be dead set against data collection on the subject. More to the point, the US is still alone as a gun culture and unique in the amount of gun violence. I believe that many of the police shootings that been the direct result of cops approaching situations where the potential for guns being drawn makes them jumpy. That's no excuse, just an observation.
Now, I don't like niggers any more than I like white trash, I don't like black racists anymore than I like the white ones. Unlike the blues, I can point out both of them (see both ways) If blues don't address the growing issue of racism on their side it's not going to be good for the whites or anyone who seems wealthy or anyone seems to be in charge within blue America so to speak.
You seem to have some things backward, Classic Xer. It's the young blacks who are being shot down by police without due process, and then let off the hook for their crimes despite claimed due process-- which is really inordinate injustice. The police support gun control and assault weapons/magazine bans too, because they are also being outgunned by the criminals. It is the vast, out-of-control presence of guns by who-knows-who that makes the cops jumpy, as well as their own misconduct.
And it doesn't matter what peoples' intentions are when buying a gun. Guns make it easy for someone to become a murderer, or a suicide victim. Children get killed by them. And what other purpose can there be for buying a gun, except to kill? The presumed need for self-defense is an admission that the gun owner is willing to kill a burglar or whoever he thinks might be one. Or to kill some deer or wolf that would better be left alive or handled by qualified rangers.
