Since Trump’s election, gun groups catering to progressives and people of color report a surge in interest as they look to defend themselves in a country that, to them, feels increasingly unstable.

    Gang violence is not a gun issue. It’s a educational, safety nets, and jobs issue.

    Omg, so the US is the only country that ever experienced a lack of jobs?

    Oh no! How I could be so stupid and forget that the US is a unique special snowflake child that doesn’t experience any of the same pressures of literally any other country on earth!

    Grow the fuck up amerocentric child.

      Way to ignore the other parts… I can see reading comprehension is not a strong point of yours.

      Oh no! How I could be so stupid and forget that the US is a unique special snowflake child that doesn’t experience any of the same pressures of literally any other country on earth!

      Considering that we lack most of what the other western countries provide for their citizens…yea we are unique.

      Grow the fuck up amerocentric child.

      Assuming you’re not even American at this point…stay in your own lane, our issues are not magically yours.

        I’m Canadian, where 90% of illegal guns are smuggled up from the US.

        Your mess is fully in our lane.

          You have very few guns being snuggled into CA. It’s probably less than 2k a year considering the number caught at the boarder is under 1k. You’re issues of gun crime which is hilariously low and on par with euro states is not a major issue. Our mess is not in your lane at all.
