Better to do nothing, so we can continue living in a world where minorities aren't armed, and where racism and oppression don't happen, right?

America has a mass shooting problem. Gun control sure seems to be an effective way to stop children from being killed in schools, and caring about children being safe doesn't mean I don't care about PoC.

The whole point was that A) minorities should arm themselves, which you clearly agree with and B) that IF conservatives are scared of an armed minority population and create gun control laws (which we're all acknowledging would be intended to harm minorities), there would still be a positive effect in that children would be safer.
