Interesting how most of this is in liberal cities and states and some of the racist attacks are from other minorities like blacks and Hispanics. Now Illinois wants to limit ammo sales. Regardless of your race, gun ownership is a necessity to protect ourselves and our families. Many California Asians are liberals (not so much here in Louisiana where Asians are slightly more liberal than whites but much more Republican than blacks) but now maybe they will be rethinking the importance of the Second Amendment.

There's also the issue of generalized chaos during a disaster as the police are busy enforcing quarantines, criminals will start to take advantage of the situation so its always good to be prepared. If you think the federal government cares about you or is able to protect you just look at Katrina. Just look at how FEMA doesn't care about tornado victims in Tennessee. Maybe when its an "important" state like New York or California the response is instant like with the California fires. But anywhere else in the nation we are on our own.

It's not the whole state. The one calling for the ban of ammo/gun sales in one city is the the mayor of Champaign, which has a large population of Asians, and a large Chinese enrollment at the adjacent university.

That is crazy, that is the first image that came to my mind when I read the title of this thread.

The better idea, shutting down all the racist trash that are the cause of hate crimes.

Start with the racist POS in the White House and about 70% of this board.

Kindly show me one single statement or action on Trump's part that could be construed as being racist against Asian people. Just one. Go ahead, I'll wait.

And no, complaining about China's trade practices doesn't count; China is a country, not a race.

Really? Because I was thinking that we need to shut down all hate mongers, including such mongers as Sharpton, Waters, My favorite, Shiela Jackson Lee and others who seek to divide based on race. I would start with all those elected reps who love class warfare and drop the race card at the drop of a hat.

I'm sure you already know this, but some people (these people I call "liberals") are surprised that blacks and Hispanics can be racist against Asians. But this dream of a pan "people of color" coalition is doomed to be disappointed, as long as some of the members of this coalition persist on being racist against other members of this coalition.
