13. Well, isn't that a given? GUNZ don't kill, people do.

Outlaw GUNZ and only outlaws will have GUNZ.

The NRA is probably drafting legislation as we speak for a "Mandatory Carry Law":

Every (white) adult citizen MUST in future be armed at all times, when in public spaces and on public roadways.

Whether on foot or in a motor vehicle, all (white) citizens will henceforth be obliged to conceal-carry, the only dispensations being for those too physically disabled to do so.

(White) citizens may be stopped and checked for compliance at any moment by law enforcement. Citizens of color may be body-searched at any time to verify that they have no firearm on their person.

Sounds like a plan that'll work. Let's get behind it.
