   This woman is ignorant.   
      
   Joy Behar said what nearly every Black person has said among   
   their friends and family--that if Black people were able to get   
   access to AK-15s, gun laws would be enacted around the nation in   
   an instant.   
      
   According to The Root via Newsweek, Behar spoke the truth out   
   loud on an episode of The View this week She said that gun   
   control would only get enacted once "Black people get guns."   
      
   The comment came as the panel discussed a Black man who   
   reportedly built his own AK-15 after learning his home state of   
   Connecticut barred the sale of AK-15s.   
      
   While guest host Lindsay Granger said it was weird that the man   
   was Black and usually former members of the military are the   
   owners of that type of assault weapon, Behar responded, “Here’s   
   the thing: once Black people get guns in this country, the gun   
   laws will change. Trust me.”   
      
   Sunny Hostin backed up Behar's statement, adding, That's what   
   happened with the Black Panthers. Know your history."   
   That history includes California passing the Mulford Act in   
   1967, which was aimed at disarming the Black Panthers, who   
   usually protected neighborhoods with guns.   
      
   As The Root states, Black men who legally own guns still get   
   labeled as criminal, and Black gun owners are still subjects of   
   police brutality. The article cites Philando Castile's murder--   
   prior to being killed, he let police know that he legally owned   
   a weapon and that he was armed.   
      
   We know Behar is right, and it’s actually quite cool that   
   someone who isn’t Black finally said what is unsaid to the   
   mainstream. Perhaps Behar’s statement will make other non-Black   
   audience members think about which people often considered as   
   legal gun owners and who are looked at as criminals.
