>'The unthinkable is becoming normal': 9-year-old boy gunned down in car, sparking outrage in Durham
> A 9-year-old boy was sitting in a car when he was shot dead this week in Durham, North Carolina, sparking outrage and a renewed call to get guns off the street.
>Zion Person was among five children and one adult in the car when a gunman opened fire from another vehicle, fatally hitting the 9-year-old just before 9 p.m. Sunday, according to the Durham Police Department.
>An 8-year-old boy in the car was shot in the arm, police said. His injuries are non-life-threatening, police said. The group was headed to buy snow cones at the time.
>The slaying prompted Durham Police Chief C.J. Davis and Durham County Sheriff Clarence Birkhead to call for an end to gun violence. "This is another act of senseless violence that simply must be stopped," Davis said in a statement. Birkhead added, "The unthinkable is becoming normal -- and I am committed to change that mindset."...
>Durham Mayor Steve Schewel held a moment of silence and renewed a call for gun legislation at a Monday night meeting. Meanwhile, the shooter -- who was in a burgundy Honda Accord with tinted windows -- remains at large. Investigators do not believe the gunfire was random, according to police. The shooting wasn't believed to be road rage, police added.
Finally, gun control becoming a topic after a usual murder and not a mass shooting like they always do. That’s an interesting development for a change. Thanks for this one, OP.

Blacks should not be allowed to buy guns

13% problem. Call for shredding constitutional rights of the 87%. Pass laws the 13% will ignore but literally trigger the 87%. Shootings increase exponentially. NB4 "You won't do nothing." Pic related
That's probably the right strategy from a public relations point of view. There are SO FUCKING MANY "normal" murders in the US that all the media really needs to do is pick one or two per day and focus on them until women (and women are the main targets here) panic.

>nig nigs a niglet, and now people care about black on black violence >"lol, it's the guns fault. He was a guu Boi who dint do nothin wrong." It'll be interesting to see if the gun is question as legally owned. I doubt it. In which laws couldn't have prevented it, but that won't matter.
>niggers gunning down niggers >unthinkable I think its way past time for common sense nigger control. BAN ASSAULT NIGGERS NOW

Meanwhile in Durham!
Durham isn't actually a city, It's the second largest slum in N.C. second only to Fayettenam.
Everyone in the state knows about Durham, they just don't say why out loud. This won't change anything. It's a million times better than it was even 10 years ago. Even Duke students are becoming NEETs and decided to stay after graduating, so the town went from Detroit to Berkley real quick.
