Jimmy Kimmel's powerful and teary response to Las Vegas massacre...

Playa! If you heated up like that and living in a fortress to boot, why in the fuck did you need to write a paragraph about struggling to keep your family safe and pushing wigs back!?! Man, I'll bet all of ya'll sleep like baby angels every night with all the doors open, big screen blasting in surround sound, cars with the windows down and the keys in the ignition! That's pretty much how I remember the neighborhood growing up on Fort Bragg. Man, you just wanted a reason to talk about how to blow a nigga away! You ain't got no security issues!:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Bc it is a struggle to keep your family safe...everyday. we got the physical security covered. thats the easy part. these evil bastards dont even have to come into your home, physically, they coming in over the internet
and gaming systems now. Caught my 16 yr old niece talking to a 35 yr old man on FB then on the phone at 11pm at night. did a backwards discovery on his ass in jaimaca and on his phone number. i told him that he had no business talking to a a girl, stated his full government name, location, town, age, and told him i would turn him into law enforcement if he ever contacted her using any means again.

WE as black people all need o live in neighborhoods like this. we can create them, mold them and protect them without need for a outside force if we have enough men willing to step up. every home is a building block in my neighborhood. we assess each other and help each other out when needed. ...even moving stuff. but we all appreciate each other too. when i borrow my neighbor's lawn mower, i make sure to clean it, oil it, sharpen the blade, and gas it up when i bring it back. when he borrows my truck, he does the same. not that its an everyday thing but we respect each other and make sure the neighbor hood shows that. I do trash patrol when i am out walking to pick up after the idiot kids that throw trash out the car. then one day o saw my neighbor doing the same thing. its a lead by example and give a damn attitude about where you live.

I love my people and try to show love to my people bc we have victimized and brutalized for so long. I was 18 before i ever sw black people running shit and living in 3-4 story houses making 6 figure incomes in atlanta. i was blown away...but inspired. if they can do it, so can i. so i try to inspire others to build up their communities instead of tearing them down. sometimes that is stepping on toes and moving the old ideas and old obstacles out of the way so that new growth and opportunities can develop for our youth.

Man, where do you live and are their any lots available?!?:eek::eek::eek:
 
Irrespective of your assuptive assessment of my life experience, I will say that I get your point, and better safe than sorry definitely has its merits.

Your assertion, were it true, would render data worthless across the board. If the human factor canceled everything out, virtually no data would matter. You're dug in, as is your right, and I get that. But just as you ask me to bet on something, all things being equal, as a tactician faced with any decision, you would base ssid decision on probability of preferred outcome. Your philosophy contains it's own refutation, in a way.

I get what you're saying, it's just that logically your suggestion would lead to arming every American to the teeth, and no way I think that you believe that would lead to LESS gun violence.

So I'm not sure what we're arguing.

Mane, this mane smawt, ain't 'uh, mane!!?
 
True that. We can't give up though.

True but Folk have to be honest. Its crazy how individuals can manage to earn various degrees and not become pregnant or get someone pregnant. Its a saying show me the conditions of a nations women and ill show u the either the conditions or the future of said nation.We can do our part but if the individuals, families and those whom we help don't help themselves our work isn't helping at all.
 
We have to come to terms with this shit. There's an obvious correlation here. Unrestricted, lackadaisical access to these kinds of weapons have real life consequences that look exactly like this. There's no meaningful argument to the contrary. The only logical argument for maintaining the status quo is that we've concluded dealing with these kinds of mass murder situations is worth it to maintain fealty to constitutional language written 200+years ago when the most powerful weapons a civvie could access was literally a goddamn musket. Failing to acknowledge this is dishonest AF :smh:

Its not dishonest AF bc you cant pick and choose what you want and dont want out of the constitution. I guess then we must also alter the rest of the admendments start with number 1. bc there was no email, no computers, no internet,..No protection of free speech on youtube, facebook, IG or any other website...i guess we need to go back to using quill pens....oh and forget about privacy and self incrimination bc there was n cell phones, texting or electronic communications too....i mean how far do you really want to take it. The second admendment is the last line of defense against tyranny.....thats why its there. its also why people give a mofo cause for pause when you go after a armed target versus and unarmed one. Kennesaw GA proved that deterrence and responsible gun ownership works.....crime went down bc criminals know NOT to go to kennesaw versus some other city bc every resident there is armed.

if you were a predator, would you go after prey that can defend itself well or the sickest/weakest/helpless prey you could find?

I understand what you are saying. there should be some controls put on gun ownership but controls that come without the gun and ammo confiscation or registration.

As I said before, I will give up my firearms when every criminal in the US does and that promised is staked by the life of those who passed the gun law and their families. Owning a gun is like having a parachute on a plane. when you need it, you better have it.
