Gun Control is a Liberal Propaganda Coverup for Black Violence

There’s nothing the liberal media loves more than to make every conceivable problem about race, but when it comes to gun violence, which according to them is responsible for every other death not caused by the Rona, they are intentionally ambiguous and blame everyone but the perpetrator. The NRA, rural whites with AR15s, and even mentally ill people get thrown under the bus and blamed for crimes they aren’t committing. The vast majority of murders in the US are committed with handguns but they want to ban AR15s and other scary looking semi-automatic rifles with pistol grips that for the most part are owned by people who aren’t shooting each other up on the streets. Hell most people with these scary “assault rifles” rarely take them out of the safe, but it's their fault if someone else uses the same type of weapon in a shooting spree. Another liberal media deception is to hyper focus on niche categories of gun violence such as arbitrarily defined “mass shootings” or their favorite “far right terrorism” while ignoring the astronomically higher rates of bloodshed among their inner city constituents. Gun control is thinly veil attempted to disarm their enemies while keeping the black victimhood narrative alive. Occasionally, Indy left media outlets like ProPublica will let half truths slip while being cautious not to stray from leftwing dogma. They’ll notice that black men are murdered at 7.5x the rate of white men and that predominately black areas have significantly higher murder rates than predominately white area and they’ll blame everything (from “white supremacy to poverty) except the immediate and obvious cause which is other black men. Ironically, while cloaking the problem in lefty buzzwords they link to an article that tells the unadulterated truth.

And as I mentioned in a previous post the disingenuous framing of issues of gun homicides and crime in general is meant to hide black criminality and keep anti-white narratives about police shootings and “systemic racism” relevant because 9/10 times black murder victims are killed by black criminals. Occam's razor stipulates that the best explanation for a phenomenon is usually the one that requires the fewest assumptions. So what is more obvious than that the gun violence plaguing predominately black urban areas is caused by black perpetrators and not poverty, inequality, AR15s, the NRA or “systemic racism.”
