Isn't science a business?
I said if I thought...not knew.
No, no it is not.
Okay, well how would think that someone was planning kill someone with a gun you were going to sell them?
Maybe I would ask them what they need it for. If they showed uncertainty in their answer I probably wouldn't sell it to them. Someone wearing gang colors would certainly be refused, as would any ethnic minority.
Wow.
The truth is that I would only sell a gun to someone that I know is either a hunter, a target shooter, a collector, or a dealer. I wouldn't sell to anyone 'off the street'.
Wow.
There are two ways:
1) If they check the "are you planning to kill someone" box on the background check,
2) If they look "angry"
Ethnic minorities aren't hunters?Maybe I would ask them what they need it for. If they showed uncertainty in their answer I probably wouldn't sell it to them. Someone wearing gang colors would certainly be refused, as would any ethnic minority. I have sold several guns in the past, but only to people that I knew were hunters.
What does that have to do with ethnic minorities?
The only ethnic minority I have ever seen hunting are the Hmongs, and we are still recalling a mass killing by one of them here in Wisconsin.
Ethnic minorities aren't hunters?
Wait `til he finds out that the Chippewa, Menominee, and Ho-Chunk go hunting.
White people have committed mass killings, too. Maybe they shouldn't have guns either.
It's called 'stereotyping'.The only ethnic minority I ever see hunting are the Hmongs, and we are still recalling a mass killing by one of them here in Wisconsin. Whenever I see them in the woods I think of that incident.
I never worried about that when I sold guns to my white friends (mass shootings were unheard of back then).
I guess it is a particularly pernicious form of stereotypingI'd use a slightly stronger word, myself. :/
Mass shootings have been around for a long time. And white people commit mass shootings (among other gun-related crimes). Do you think that we should stop selling guns to white people?
If that's your argument to not sell to, as you put it, "ethnic minorities" then it seems you should have the same standard for everyone.
So if a white person commits a gun crime, no more guns for white people.
Fair is fair, right?
Then why did you mention mass shootings in the first place?
