Yet another example of why we need common sense gun restrictions. Had those individuals who utilized firearms to express their frustrations of generations of repression by historical colonialists and lack of due reparations, not had access to said firearms, they would more likely than not chose to bring wienies and potato salad to the block party rather than glocks and winchester white box!

Depends on the race.

Suspects are black? Local news only. Just another weekend. Gang related, yawn.

Suspects are white? National news and calls for more gun laws. Ban rifles and “gun show loopholes” now!
