"I do believe this was a hate crime." Irrelevant. Labeling the crime does not bring back the nine murdered.
"The shooting was the most unbelievable act possible." Hardly, but this idiotic statement is regurgitated after every active shooting attack.
"A man in his 20s was seen in a security camera image." Security cameras do not prevent you from being killed. Guns prevent you from being killed.
One of the most odious curses of progressive liberalism has been to dissuade black Americans from owning and possessing defensive firearms. In fact black communities throughout the nation, many riddled with crime and violence, have been localities of "success" for the gun control movement; law abiding citizens politically pressured or legally prohibited from owning firearms while illegally armed criminals run amok in their neighborhoods.
In addition to recognizing that liberalism has ruined far more black lives that it has ever helped, black Americans need, instead of bowing to the wishes of the liberal anti-gun agenda, a Second Amendment renaissance among their race.
