Are gun laws fair?
It all depends who you ask, while doing research for my upcoming book in December. I found some disturbing demographic information. Upon looking at the many gun laws that are passed to restrict, or punish those in possession of firearm. I found that a select few are at the mercy of these laws when they are passed.
Of course, any person that violates the law, could be held accountable for it. But what I found was some very uncomfortable information. As we know, the majority of the large cities in this country, generally have the most restrictive gun laws. That's probably no secret and we all are aware of it. What you did not know and I was not aware of, that in these large cities. The majority of people that are held accountable, to unconstitutional firearms laws, are minorities. Actually the black community seems to be the high target according to FBI and DHS statistics. It's not something we want to admit or even know about because it makes us uncomfortable as a society. But it is disturbing to see that we know specific political parties make these decisions and pass these laws. But there also resulting in the law abiding minorities becoming criminals when these are passed.
This is where it gets very interesting, according to the statistics in this country. Across the board, and across this country. When a firearms violation takes place on a law abiding citizen, it is over 90%, a person of color. And the majority of that 90% are men. With only a small percentage of other races making up the arrest that take place.
I am not trying to make this topic about race because I realize that's not allowed on the forum, what I'm trying to do is put forward, there is a dark side to passing gun laws that I had not seen until doing research for my book. So to keep this short, this is not including gang related statistics.
This is according to government records, that 90% of law abiding people, that were able to own and possess or carry a firearm legally prior to these laws. Where other minority background persons that were arrested. That means just like anyone at all, that had the ability to own a firearm, and had that right changed after a law passed. Would now become a criminal in the eyes of the law. It is beyond disturbing to think that a certain party is responsible for passing these laws, appeared to single out, the black community and minorities themselves who would normally be law-abiding citizens. I do not think its just coincidence this is the way it is.
So next time, you see laws being proposed in Washington, Oregon. You may be looking at this a little bit different than you have and realizing, that laws are being passed that make it dangerous for a certain group of people that are targeted by a political party. Simply to suppress their rights not necessarily all peoples rights.
