pretty sure i'm not being manipulating since i can think for myself.

as far as crazy white men doing shootings, check your own stats.  tobacco, alcohol and abortion kill far more americans than people of any color with a bullet yet no one is crying to ban alcohol and tobacco.  so who is being manipulated now? 

if you smoke or drink alcohol even responsibly you are knowingly contributing to industries far more deadly than a gun.   and that is statistically proven.
