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 |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
