a tool of change, of enforcement, of power?

i can't really say. i'm a shooter and gun rights and ownership advocate, but i don't think i could ever aim at a person and pull the trigger. here in the south tho, and in many places in africa, having a firearm is a viable alternative to being killed.

it's more of a deterrence thing, like the cold war. nobody fucked with anyone else for fear of all-out war.

if we arm the black communities RESPONSIBLY, then maybe they feel those in power (whatever race or background they may be) will be less-inclined to oppress us, to deny us rights, etc.

those are just my thoughts. i have no idea what validity they hold in the real world.

i mean...i'm sayin tho.
