He said the world was different then which made that possible. So.......I’m interested in how he thinks so. Link to comment

You meant to quote me It was implied that Regan in the 60's passed bills against the Black Panthers because race. Almost 60 years later, the world is a different animal and racial tension is different and protest against gun law rights being taken away is different than black panther rallies. So I don't think I'm off base saying they are different things. And as I noted, this isn't a whites only crowd in VA although I'm certain the majority shifts that way. Link to comment

Trumper friends of mine act like Black Lives Matter is even worse than The Black Panthers. So, if there’s a BLM rally with everyone showing up with AR 15s you don’t think that would move the needle? 4 Link to comment

And it's not all white men. You are bringing up BLM. Link to comment

So, if there were a BLM rally with everyone carrying AR15s, many Trumpers would have a different reaction. Link to comment

And in this hypothetical BLM rally, are they peacefully mingling amongst other races in the hopes of protecting their 2nd amendment right? I guess I'm not sure what any of this fairy tale has to do with the topic at hand. Link to comment

A few years ago, some black guys replicated an Open Carry demonstration at a fast food restaurant and the results were decidedly different. This surprised absolutely no one. I'm glad the demonstration went off peacefully, but according to Twitter, these might have been the though balloons going over some of those heads: 1 Link to comment
