Jake Fromm “Only elite white people should have guns”. WTF?!
There's still time... right?
This is funny and true, BUT people need to learn that texts are evidence that can be allowed in court. My favorite TV judge says "say it forget it, write it regret it".
Jake Fromm was casually racist and kinda dumb for texting a racist "joke" to someone who he clearly didn't know well enough to be receptive to its "humor".
You are right, but once again these young'ens need to realize that everything you type on your phones, pc, social media is SAVED somewhere and could get out, so be aware of what you use it.
Perfect. Make gun owner a racial issue and then maybe democrats won’t want to steal them as badly from us. I’m learning just make everything racial. Only way people care apparently.
Gucci straight spittin'
Which of our last 3 presidents did anything on gun control? Go ahead, guess which one.
You may have a stroke when you figure it out.
Lol you silly man.
The racist white nationalist, that's who! The black president didn't dare, because, you know, guns'n'white folks.
Bill?
They're all pink inside!
- Bill Clinton, probably
Your stupidity is staggering.
You're not wrong. Democrats went silent about social distancing real quick when people started protesting a racial issue.
Also, as a 2A supporter, I love that the Democrats somehow think these protests are turning the tide against 2A. Not a chance. I'm more firmly in support of 2A than ever after seeing all the looting. The average Democrat public figure lives in one hell of a bubble.
A lot of black people are now saying they need guns to protect themselves. And although it’s a myth that Black people are being killed by cops at some alarming rate (whites are killed more and more often on a per encounter basis), I am glad to see Black people wanting to be armed legally. Good luck taking away guns white liberals when backs will now call you racist for it. We know in the cult of the white liberal nothing is worse than being called a racist.
This is a stupid statement. That being said, I am so so so thankful that none of the stupid shit I said in private when I was that age has been put on the internet (yet..).
Wouldn't really be race related, but, still there'd be a lot of horrific nuggets.
That’s ridiculous. The lootings over the past week have destroyed any argument against the 2A. Since the politicians abandoned their cities and police can no longer enforce law and order, citizens MUST protect themselves. Everyone, not just elite whites
lol... Ransack minority communities for years utilizing biased housing loans, redline their communities then build highways through them for the newly minted "white suburb" (especially in Chicago) then act surprised when they lash out and focus on the minority of people causing vandalism.
Sounds about right...
And therefore we should just destroy the lives and businesses of all the hard working people that built something for themselves and kill innocent civilians. This is what you are cheering for. You are disgusting. No wonder Chicago is on fire.
I'm not supporting the rioting. I'm just not surprised by the rioting.
America never supported those businesses. Cities rarely give loans out to black-owned business in more populated downtown neighborhoods and then have the gal to gentrify the black areas and kick the same businesses out for the Sweet Greens and Starbucks of the world (see Philadelphia).
So don't pretend to care now.
Who tf are you to tell me when i started caring or what i've done? You don't know jack about me. You don't know jack about what i've done for my community or my history. Go sit on your high horse and watch your rioters burn down the cities and destroy public transportation that the not-so-wealthy people rely on. You're nothing but a hypocrite and a closet racist yourself. gtfoh
Ouch must've hit a nerve on this one.
Naw. You're just a hypocrite. And a racist. Keep exposing yourself while the rest of us make positive changes in the world.
This is demonstrably false. The SBA and many other organizations (and thru tax dollars all of us), have been supporting minority owned businesses and contractors at least since the 1980s (and very possibly before).
Chicago’s on fire? Okay, Kyle.
we should just destroy the lives and businesses of all the hard working people that built something for themselves and kill innocent civilians.
You do realize that if you applied your statement to the way our government, law enforcement and most revered institutions have treated black people for centuries you would understand why people are rioting.
So without comparing it to any other act, let me ask you, is looting right or wrong?
Obviously wrong. Good thing we don't live in a vacuum. I've already explained myself above.
I look forward to hearing all the looters corroborate your white flight theory as their reason for breaking into Louis Vuitton.
Except apparently the violence is most commonly coming from fringe groups. There's a man here in Columbus why was caught on camera paying people and pointing to a store to break into. He was white. His statement was that he was trying to help people who were assaulted by the police. But it's obvious he wasn't. Videos of violent looters in Columbus? Every single one was white.
Exactly and why were protestors from that part of Ohio protesting in Detroit when there were protests in CBus, Cleveland, and all over other parts of Ohio? They were brought in to incite violence.

"Everyone, not just elite whites."
So, you disagree with Jake Fromm, then.
Good to know.
I do agree that guns should be prohibitively expensive. Maybe not the guns themselves, but i'd like to see a system that has large licensing fees to cover mandatory extensive background checks and mandatory safety training and yearly updates on all those things to own a gun. The whole elite white thing is BS though.
Disclaimer: I don't think most people need firearms, and certainly not assault rifles.
Your argument is basically that only rich people should be able to buy guns.
If it cuts down on the number of guns in circulation, not necessarily a bad thing.
You feel the need to get one for home protection, get yourself a shotgun. You want to have one as a toy to play with, you are going to have to pay, just like you would for any luxury.
So would you be okay with an expensive "access fee" in order to get onto the internet? Would cut down on all of the idiots posting online, you know with the 1st Amendment being a luxury and all...
not sure what twisted logic equates free speech and enhancing the ability to communicate with gun control, but whatever.
I'm not even arguing about repealing the 2nd amendment, I'm just saying lets put some real controls on it and fund it with fees that come out of the pocket of the people who want to own guns.
Or just buy one with no serial numbers off the street for $200
That's one thing I don't get. If guns are so cheap and easy to get off the street, why does the NRA crowd throw such a fit about the government trying to control their guns?
Are you being sarcastic or stupid? I can't stand the NRA, but the reason they do this is that the vast majority of gun owners are law-abiding and don't want to be limited or have to jump through extra hoops.
sarcastic/ironic I guess. Just pointing out a flaw in their argument. Everytime it comes up, you always hear about how only the bad guys will have them. Well if it's so easy, then get them that way.
But god forbid NRA members have to jump through some hoops to make this country safer.
I think you're still missing the point.
People don't want to break the law to get a gun. Buying a gun off the street is illegal. How I see it, NRA or any person that lawfully owns a gun for personal protection doesn't want their guns taken away because then only the criminals will have them. This is even more important now in 2020.
Every single gun owner (all white males) that I know have openly talked about "their guns that the government don't know about".
This is a hilarious and true point. Ok so not every person with guns, but a fair amount.
Wow.
You have no concept of doing things legally? That most guns used in crimes were obtained illegally?
Adding taxes and making guns more expensive does keep them out of the hands of the poor. Pro 2A people are against this and he is clearly pointing that out by using the word “elite”. He can’t be serious. It’s sarcasm and he means the opposite. Virtue signalers will be the keyboard warriors they are.
I'm pretty sure it was the word "white" that caused the issue.
Yes, but elite was a clue to it being sarcasm. I think it goes back to as recently as Mike Bloomberg being a billionaire, having armed security, having little knowledge of guns, and being anti gun for everyone else.
A lot of these anti gun people are white. It’s making a mockery of them. Hollywood and tech elites. Maybe it’s better not to say anything this day and age but we are talking about a private text.
Wow.
You think it's people on the internet that make him a racist? So precious.
