One of the many fatal flaws with the NRA's recommendation that everyone arm themselves at all times to stop gun violence, is that it ignores the reality of what happens to lawful, Black gun owners like Jemel Roberson, who was the definition of a "good guy with a gun."
After a shooting at a bar, security guard Jemel Roberson subdued an alleged assailant. When police arrived, an officer "encountered a subject with a gun" — and shot and killed Roberson, who was in uniform and holding a gun he was licensed to carry.
