You made it relevant. You continue to post new threads about racism and then you dismiss the importance of what you say on this forum. If the issue is important and this forum is irrelevant then why do you speak up here and not where it might make a difference?

Just food for thought
 
A man just got shot and killed by an off duty officer in a shoot out. Officer never got hit, the man fired 3 times and the officer 17...
 
Here's a thought experiment:

What if large groups of African-American men carrying shotguns and semi-automatic rifles started moseying into stores across America to tout their support of open-carry gun laws?

Would they be greeted by the same anxious looks shoppers gave groups of armed white men who did the same this summer at Target stores and chain restaurants like Chipotle? Or something more lethal?

They all look insane to me.

I'm all for concealed carry, provided the people are sane and have passed a background check (I know it's not perfect but whatever). Open carry....I think those people are lunatics by and large and they all scare the hell out of me.

On another note in the article was a picture that claimed it was in Salt Lake showing a gun rally with some moron carrying a Rebel Flag...was Utah part of the Confederacy and I just missed that? What's with these nutjobs carrying rebel flags around? Even if you're from a former Confederate state I don't get it...you're holding up the banner of the losers. I get and sorta dig the Don't Tread on Me Flag, but those guys were winners.
 
bottom line - the more we allow people to carry guns - whether it's concealed or open - the more the police will have the expectation that the "other guy" has a gun - and the more they think there's a weapon, the more they're gonna shoot - and when they shoot, they shoot to kill - so __________________

The only way to fix this is to legalize all weapons.

If someone brings a bazooka then you must bring a tank.
If someone brings an aircraft carrier then you must bring an atomic bomb.

Anything restricting my rights to own an aircraft carrier or atomic bomb is unconstitutional and socialism. Murika hates socialism. Now where the hell is my social security check? Damn post office...

Can we just make this a general "cops can really suck and are total idiots many times" thread? Cause I have this lovely story that I'd love to make a new thread with, but don't want to become the new guy who just bashes the cops all the time (just some of the time) with scores of threads about them.

But here is the story...

A bunch of dumbass Georgia cops raid a guy's garden thinking he is growing weed. Turns out he is growing okra. But let's give the cops credit...it was green, it had leaves, and it grew in the ground! What else could it have been? It must not take much of an eduction to be on the Georgia Governor's Task Force for Drug Suppression. Or even the ability to know the difference between a leaf with 5 blades vs. a leaf with 7 or more blades.

I support any efforts to curb the supply of okra or any of those "weedy" greens included in salad mixes. I just HATE it when my wife serves those. What the hell is so wrong with iceberg, romaine and green or red leaf lettuce? do we really need to start eating greens that stick in the teeth and scratch the throat going down.

End rant.
