On Friday a fourth person was arrested for issuing death threats against African-American college students this week—this time in MIchigan.
Many Republicans truly believed that the only thing that stops a “bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun.” So the next logical step should be to call for black students at colleges across the nation to openly carry firearms. It’s only logical right? They have repeatedly argued that the real problem that encourages mass shootings is “gun free zones,” haven’t they?
Oddly, not a single Republican presidential candidate has called for this in the case of African-American college students who are being repeatedly threatened with death. Wonder why that is?
Get rid of gun free zones,” Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump tweeted after a gunman massacred five in Chattanooga last month. “Gun-free zones [are] an easy target for killers” an opinion headline on Fox News read after a white supremacist shot up a black South Carolina church and killed nine. Conservative sites also blamed gun-free zones after massacres at multiple movie theaters and other shootings.
They’ve told us again and again that the last thing we need are “more gun laws.”
And it’s not like people who actually were open carrying during that very same Oregon school shooting didn’t come galloping in to save the day, guns a’blazing, or not.
A veteran who says he was carrying a concealed weapon on Oregon’s Umpqua Community College campus Thursday when 26-year-old Christopher Harper Mercer went on a murderous rampage, says he didn’t intervene because he knew police SWAT team members wouldn’t know him from the shooter.
In an interview with MSNBC, veteran John Parker said he knows lots of students who conceal carry at the school because, despite a school policy that discourages weapons on campus, Oregon state law does allow it.
