| Mr Khan said: Because the NRA isn't frantically trying to justify the 40-something shootings on the South Side of Chicago? The Black community has made efforts against black-on-black violence, but what it really amounts to in the end is poverty. In this case there's an element of preventability if Florida wasn't trying to make itself into the mythic version of the Old West (because hey, in the actual Old West, you had to check your rifles at the entrance to town. Back then they had this crazy idea that guns killed people). |
Yeah. The usual suspects in the outrage industry definitely waited for the NRA to weigh in on the matter before sounding off on it. That's what Al Sharpton is known for, after all: waiting and seeing before losing his fucking shit delivering a measured response.
I'm not sure why you think this was preventable when violence on the South Side isn't. If Chicago has been unable to control gun violence with its unconstitutional gun control laws, what hope does Florida have?
