Millions of Americans watched Philando Castile die in his car. The 32-year-old was driving in a Minneapolis suburb last July with his girlfriend, Diamond Reynolds, and Dae'Anna, their four-year-old daughter, when they were pulled over for a broken taillight. Castile told the officer that he had a legally permitted firearm, but when he reached for his wallet, his girlfriend said, the officer panicked and opened fire. Demonstrating remarkable composure, Reynolds livestreamed the aftermath on Facebook, capturing Castile's final moments, as the cop screamed, "I told him not to reach for it! I told him to get his head up!" |

So, either [A.] there are black criminals out there who cross paths with police and wind up with lead poisoning, or [B.], there are trigger happy racist cops out there far too willing to donate lead to suspects who are black, but, in either case:
IT'S THE NRA'S FAULT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

| It's the NRAs fault that there are 'legally permitted firearms' for cops to shoot CCW holders over. Or so goes what passes for reasoning in the mind of a gun-grabber. |

TO REMEMBER |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
