Where the Establishment and criminals oppress inner-city residents, the Second Amendment can help, according to Maj Toure, founder of the firearm-education program Black Guns Matter.
"The firearm is for me to defend my value system, my way of life," Toure said Monday while touting an upcoming event in Phoenix. "We're not just talking about police brutality. It could be any form of tyranny. It could be someone trying to rob you. We're not about 'hands up, don't shoot.' We're going to neutralize the threat, if need be."
Legendary rapper Tupac Shakur — who was murdered in 1996 — shot two off-duty police officers in 1993, but walked free because the drunk officers had started an altercation, Toure said. Similarly, if a "homicidal" cop exceeds his legal bounds, law-abiding gun owners can take control of the situation and shoot back, if justified.
