Killer Mike defends gun ownership during NRA interview

[Wild self]

Why don't you pose that question to the police and military?

Furthermore, why does it need to be enough?

Definitely for the police. But thw military is another animal. They got tanks and other weapons that you can't even find illegally to buy.

But people getting carried away with arming themselves with weapons that can wipe out entire villages for basic protection,.

 

[thashiek]

B b bu but I need an AK to kill one man cause he don't agree with me.

A lot of people in here sound like serial killers. They aint content with having a regular handgun. They all extra with being the goddamn Terminator killing people over property and material possessions.

That is how it is reading to me as well. I fully support the message by Mike but I have zero intentions of ever owning a gun. I have no desire, even with a gun in my chest to murder another human. Ever. But I wholeheartedly respect the legal right to own weapons.

I recognize that it may make me a victim. I have long ago come to terms with that. What I can't come to terms with is taking a life. Not for me.


As far as the NRA angle of this. I am a huge proponent of the message trumping the messenger. For example, if MLK's, "I have a dream" speech was done in the exact same chair and setting as Mikes interview, would I think less of it. No, not at all. I wouldn't care if he said what he said in one of the caves Bin Laden was hiding out in. Or the hole they found Saddam in. Completely irrelevant to me where it happened, especially because I know he has been saying these things for years and it hasn't garnered even 1/10th of the steam as it has today. So if I were to view things from his perspective, this is a win. You want to get the message out to more people, even at the risk of your mostly positive public image? Well, now you have that.

Obviously I am more about endgame/bottom line. All the IG posts, tweets, times behind a mic or in front of a camera where he has said the exact same thing has had little comparative affect. It took a hated organization for his words to reach certain people. To me, that speaks volumes about this country.

An AR-15 can wipe out an entire village?

Is that why it’s so useless against the armed agents of the American state as you say they are?

I’m just confused here. As I asked earlier, is it Oochie Wally or One Mic? Are AR-15s useless in a military context or are they “weapons of mass destruction?”

If “tanks and other weapons that you can't even find illegally to buy“ are important enough in a military context to make AR-15s useless, why are M4s and similar rifles part of a soldier’s basic loadout?

Cant Cali brehs just drive to nearby Nevada & cop high capacity mags in bulk and skate back over?

I know in Maryland u can do that lol my dad did that. And its legal

The guns still function with them, but It's illegal.

it's a profitable hustle to do though.... and far less risk than buying them off some shady cop trying to have a side hustle, or a gun shop that sells " magazine repair kits"

most cats who pull the Vegas runs, do it for ammo because it's less work to buy it in bulk and doesn't come with the same restrictions as buying in state....plus gun shows happen more often there.

maintaining some form of dual residency ( i.e. ID for one state, DL for another) is a easy way to get around waiting periods... but even in CA, you're still legally required to declare all firearms imported from other states...and those firearms must be CA compliant.

Seriously.....its like people forgot context and moderation. No one is saying to eliminate the 2nd amendment, just have common sense procedures to where mass shootings hardly happen anymore. People who want a damn military grade weapon for basic self defense, sound mentally off to me.

Would love to see someone with real pro-Black politics like Killer Mike push this Democratic c00n’s shyt back.

Soldiers are far better trained than police officers. If you content with an uneducated, selfish, hard headed, and emotional people with weapons more powerful than a handgun, then by all means write up your will and play your funeral early.

Would you trust an AR 15 on a police officer? Or a mentally disturbed white kid?

 

[Gravity]

You mean, 10 per magazine.

all that law did was make it easier to become a criminal and lose your rights to firearms....and make gun companies more money by selling state compliant guns and accessories.

it did nothing to stop gun violence.

So what do you think would help stop some of the gun violence(in black neighborhoods)? Do you think that the availability of guns to people who shouldn’t have them contributes to the gun violence?

Why don't you pose that question to the police and military?

Furthermore, why does it need to be enough?

It was a simple question that you should’ve been able to answer. If you can’t explain your position then why should it be respected?

Do you actually believe in the spirit of the 2nd amendment, as in the right of the civilian public population to be in a position to keep the military in check? If so, then why don’t you think that people should be able to own tanks, rockets, and everything that the military has?

 

[LurkMoar]

I would much rather be able to have such a weapon to defend myself from mentally deranged white kids. Removing guns and rifles from this country is not even feasible so that shyt is a non starter.

If you want to talk about better mental checks so we get less crazy white boys with guns im with you there.

Military Grade is nothing more than a marketing term.... it has no actual definition, nor any parameters that something must fall into to be legally allowed to use the term.

anybody in the military can tell you that "military grade" usually means it's absolutely shyt
