Yesterday thousands of gun-right supporters gather in Richmond to protest the Governor's plans require background checks on weapon buyers and only allowing the purchase of one handgun per month. Donald Trump tweeted the protestors, writing at 10:42 AM, "The Democrat Party in the Great Commonwealth of Virginia are working hard to take away your 2nd Amendment rights. This is just the beginning. Don’t let it happen, VOTE REPUBLICAN in 2020!"
The marchers carrying hard-core ARs shouted, “Northam out."
No counter-demonstrators were seen within blocks and the police allowed thousands of gun-toting people to march around the city thankfully without any acts of violence marring Martin Luther King Day.
I liked shooting, but have seen the need to walk around New York City armed to the teeth.
Unlike these men who fear the government might take away their guns.
I don't trust the government either.
The police only protects the rich and regard the poor as a source of income, but do I need an AR-15?
No.
Last year a gunman killed twelve people in Virginia Beach. A special lawmaking session on gun control ended in ninety minutes without any action to protect innocent people against a senseless attack of a madman, but the fear of crime fuels the need for guns.
In 2018 .2% of American household suffered an armed intrusion either by gun, knife, or physical threat and in the same year 815 bank robberies occurred in California, but the real reason for millions of Americans owning guns is not crime or the government.
They fear blacks.
A Nat Turner uprising.
Getting killed in their beds for the sin of slavery.
The crime of oppression.
The evil of hatred.
And they know they are guilty, which is why they have the guns.
No other reason other than to maintain racism.
This is their fear.
Freedom.
