Some the talk going on during this campaign season is disquieting.

The stealing of this prose to suit your politics is disgusting.
I do, however, have a suggestion for those of you who are so terribly worried about shooting of blacks, and the handguns that you believe need to be more stringently controlled.
As someone who feels all shooting deaths, no matter the color of the victims skin, is not a trifle, I would like to redirect your energies to some spots more suited for your outrage.
Redirect BLM to Chicago or Detroit or wherever, and demonstrate against the killing of blacks.
Now you can attack what you really care about where, by far, the greatest number of blacks are shot and killed AND at the same time push gun control, because the guns used are already Illegally purchased. Now that is a twofer if I ever saw one.
Using death as a political tool, and then compounding it by using race is just plain despicable.
BLM, at this point, is the most racist, non gun control group around, financed by political activists and led by anarchists.
Color of skin should never matter....most blacks are killed in the cities I mentioned and others,yet silence from those self righteous bigots who claim the goodness.
Illegal gun sales in the two cities mentioned is rampant, yet more silence on enforcing the law.
