Remember when arming black people was unthinkable... Was that really baseless racism considering the murder rate today?

It has to do with socioeconomic status, not race. The US government have been suppressing and oppressing the black community for generations. From feeding drugs to their population, to experimenting with diseases on black people, to infrastructural methods of segregation, to doing mind control experiments on blacks.

So you got to give a little leeway if black communities are down a peg on the socioeconomic scale.

Allowing most of the population to be armed is also dumb in general. It serves zero purpose. The most civilian-armed country in the world is also the most evil country in the history of mankind. America's child holocaust and pedo rings alone is enough to put them up with the greatest evil shits, but that's only a tiny fraction of the problem and guns have done absolutely nothing to stop it.

There's also zero chance you can win against the government with a bunch of civilian handguns.

Yeah, I used to believe that too, the liberal view of things. But my family came from poverty, they aren't violent criminals. Some alcohol and drug problems, but even that isn't widespread. In fact the area I'm visiting now could be called economically distressed, but it's not dangerous.

There's been lots of unethical experiments, other enslaved minorities like slavics who were discriminated against in America who aren't a problem.

It just doesn't account for it.

Afghanis did pretty well with what they had.
