Joe’s Gun Control Sense Nonsense To Blacks?

WSJ’s Jason Riley suggests it ain’t just record number of rednecks buying guns for protection but Black Americans fearing for their lives in their own neighborhoods driven to extreme measures by the progressives who rule them.

The Black columnist is blunt enough: “The people who bear the brunt of rising violent crime are taking steps to protect themselves.” While President Biden insists (AGAIN) that “gun control legislation” is the key to ending an epidemic of violence in our schools & streets, he notes, “voters have noticed that cities where shootings occur almost daily also have some of the strictest gun laws … Using common sense [as Joe recently instructed], they’ve concluded that more gun-control legislation probably isn’t the solution because criminals by definition don’t respect laws. Many of the same people likewise find it unconscionable that elected officials would make it more difficult for law-abiding residents of high-crime neighborhoods to arm themselves for protection.”

Ironically, as Mr. Riley reminds Mr. Biden, the two recent landmark Supreme Court ruling involving gun control issues “were fueled by black plaintiffs who simply wanted to defend their homes and families … and … hailed from cities controlled by liberals who have done an extraordinarily bad job of protecting low-income minorities from criminals.” As Joe might say, “It’s just common sense.”
