Black Voices Still Matter, Listen to Them

An interesting piece by a Black academic looking at data regarding the gun control issue.   I think he makes some good points, although I still have civil liberties concerns about "Red Flag" laws as a general proposition.   Although the Buffalo and Uvalde shooters engaged in and publicly shared behaviors that should have seen them arrested long before they started shooting people.

WARNING


Any comments that focus on the fact that Black people with these beliefs are in the "minority" and therefore somehow not worthy of attention, will likely be left in moderation or deleted.   The two black men who address the gun issue are citing actual hard data, if you can't demonstrate that the data is wrong, maybe it'll be best to sit this one out.
