I've just cottoned on to this dude in the last couple of days, and I don't know anything about his back story, but I love this guy.
He's absolutely right about gun law literacy. There literally are tons of black dudes doing heavy prison time for the simple reason that they didn't do the paperwork and spend twenty bucks on a gun permit.
And probably more than a few white ones too.

To ban guns because criminals use them is to tell the innocent and law-abiding that their rights and liberties depend not on their own conduct, but on the conduct of the guilty and the lawless.
