Sharon Spivey-Oliver, a 54-year-old Black woman, felt vulnerable while closing up her business in the suburbs to head home in Detroit. Her guard was raised more often with the presidential election approaching.
Spivey-Oliver didn’t want to be “easy bait” for a would-be mugger or someone who saw her Black skin as a target. She and her husband had never owned guns before, but it felt more dangerous to live and work in 2020. They decided to purchase handguns and obtain concealed pistol licenses.

| It's amazing that all of these black folks are focusing on the "white bogeyman" (which constitutes a miniscule percentage of the white population) when they are many, many times more likely to be victimized by their own "community members." [tongue-in-cheek obvious] |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
