Don't forget Philando Castile, a legal gun owner who did exactly what the NRA said you should do when pulled over with a gun in the car and got shot. The NRA made barely a peep about it. Can't imagine white.
Fuck the NRA. The majority of gun owners who aren't NRA tit suckin cop fuckers, still are pissed about that injustice, same with Breonna Taylor and Kenneth Walker. Anyone suggesting the police are there for them and want to disarm us all, these cases and a bunch more like them, are why we say fuck no.
While I personallywould prefer a constitutional amendment that overrides the 2nd, I'm not giving up my guns until the cops are no longer armed criminals, and you're never getting my crossbows.
Any law that violates the constitution should not be obeyed. That is the duty of the U.S. citizen.
Sure, but the constitution is capable of being amended, and is long overdue for some amendments.
NAGR > NRA
SAF is better, they actually drive lawsuits vs paying politicians.
Castile wasn't the last of it, either. Roger Fortson recently was gunned down for simply having a gun. He was not brandishing or pointing it at anyone. It was a very similar situation, just not a vehicle stop.
It won't stop until someone makes it stop. Qualified Immunity has got to fucking go.
Qualified Immunity is illegal according to the law that Congress passed in 1871.

Well, that's it, right? Because not-white.
