You sound white and privileged; try being a minority in a place where cops are racist/sexist/genderist and crime is high and see how fast you will change your mind.
Do you think pulling a gun against a cop will help you get home safely?
(I am not argueing against your point that there are bad cops. I just don't think pulling a gun against a cop will help you stay safe.)
You know how I know you're a white privileged kid that never grew up with any adversity? You never considered that cops will delay their response, if respond at all, to help you because of your skin color, income demographic, sexual preferences or gender identity.
You went straight to the ignorant thought of a gun owner addressing cops with violence and not a criminal trying to rob you in front of your family or being trans living in a community that wants you not to exist.
You sound white and privileged and trying to shove pro-gun arguments into the mouths of minorities because you think that’s some kind of uno-reverse card to liberals.
Non-sequitur. Do you have any argument to refute anything I said so as to help change my mind and make us both better people, or just continue to remain a useless loser your entire life and leave it at that?
Hit the nail on the head, didn’t I? ;D
Thanks for confirming.
I am honestly too dumb to understand what I confirmed here with you. Please elaborate
The asshat is clearly privileged, but don't stoop to racism like them. Be the change you want in the world. The right to bear arms and defend yourself from criminals and tyranny alike is a right that every American should practice and cherish no matter what they look like. One day, we'll get that dream even if we have to deal with a few nightmares first.
