Actually, private ownership has not been proven to be a disaster and Harrier would disagree with you that militias are obsolete, however at least you are thinking along constitutional lines for implementing your plan rather than advocating for blatant ignoring of the 2nd Amendment.

If you wish to see the 2A repealed, there is an amendment process.

Harrier suggests that you write or call your congress critter and get the ball rolling.

Harrier's representative will probably support the amendment, since that individual is a Democrat.

Wouldn't it just be better to take all the guns away from Blacks since they commit most of the murders ?

I will never kill anyone, why should I give up my guns ?

I want blacks to apologize to me for my losing a relative during the Civil War that fought to free slaves.

Better yet, I demand reparations.

Two things,
1) I'll take your guns if you don't want them. It will make everyone around you safer.

2) Ted Kennedy killed more people with his car than I have with my gun.

Why would any white man have to apologize for what any dead white people did long ago or what some other whites may have done today? Guilty by race/skin color even though they played no role in the past or hold no ill feelings towards blacks today? Ridiculous! Not all whites in the past were like nor are most whites like that today.

Black people may feel good, but that doesn't mean they will forget or ignore the fact that whites benefitted and still benefit from slave labor.

btw -- other people can also go back to where they came from. Black people built this country. They deserve all the money and credit that was stolen from them.
Blacks built this country all by themselves? What were the rest of Americans doing...sitting on their porches just sipping tea? It takes more than just brawn to build a country it takes brains also. All Americans regardless of race built this nation.

Go back to where they came from? WTH does that mean? Most American were born here not somewhere else. I suggest you get some counseling for your unresolved hatred of white Americans.

Probably because someone was pointing a gun in his face.

They built this country with rock n' roll (paraphrase of the song).
