#WeWillShootBack wants black people to arm themselves in self-defense

Hobby shooting is derived from practice shooting, which was developed to make you better at shooting living things, historically people and animals.

Hunting is legal. Many target shooters exclusively shoot targets. Your claims about their histories is irrelevant to current practices.

There aren't "Abortion Shows" where you can buy abortion machines.

This is a complete non-sequitur means? Why does it matter that gun shows exist? Guns and peaceable assemblies are constitutionally protected. For that matter, why do you assume there aren't medical trade shows that might sell obgyn equipment for D&C and D&E purposes?

We require permits to drive cars. It is also harder to bring a car into a school, movie theater or church without being seen. You can also get out of the way of a car, or hide in a building or behind a tree.

We have another non-sequitur. I don't know why you are fleeing cars or guns. Do you run every time you see the police?

Your Obama link isn't working, but if any president was the least likely to take your guns, the list would be George Washington, Ronald Reagen, George W. Bush, Barrack H. Obama. It isn't because he wants you to own guns, it is because he will not pick the fight to try and take them. EVER. Nothing happened after Sandy Hook (except record sales for guns and ammo...) so nothing will happen after anything else, especially while Obama is still President. Stop Strawmanning, Obama doesn't want your guns.

My link is working. I just tested it. It's to the White House. This isn't a strawman. It's literally part of his agenda on a White House webpage. Claiming otherwise is a lie.

Also, your abused ex-wife scenario involved a woman shooting her husband. Perhaps there are better alternatives to try first?

The funny thing about criminals is that, by definition, they ignore laws.

Finally, no one blames guns for violence, they are just an ultra efficient tool that is used to commit violent acts. It doesn't help they have no other use besides shooting and killing things. A Car can transport people, a hammer knocks in nails, even a knife can fillet a fish or cut a steak. A Gun just shoots.

A gun just shoots. You seem to register that they are efficient tools for committing crimes, and have ignored that they are also the most efficient answer for ending an immediate criminal situation. Your choice to buy a gun does not arm a criminal. It does not rob a bank unless you do so. All it can do is be used as a tool for your bidding. Some of us just choose to defend our homes and property.
