Joy Behar: "Once Black people get guns in this country, the gun laws will change. Trust me." pic.twitter.com/gaweZf483X

Look, I get it. The predominately leftist panel has always been long on knee-jerk statements, chanting points and slogans while short on facts. This is just the latest example given that Behar is so woefully ignorant regarding the latest trends in gun ownership.
From the Washington Times this past January:
Black Americans are a big reason behind the surge, according to data from the National Shooting Sports Foundation. Black gun ownership increased 58.2% through the first six months of 2020, and the foundation expects that number to be similar for 2021, given the trends in purchases.
Overall, Blacks outpaced every other demographic in the increase of gun purchases in the first half of 2020, including Whites (51.9%), Hispanics (49.4%) and Asians (42.9%), the national organization said.
“The Second Amendment and gun rights have been the Black community’s right, and a lot of Black people are starting to realize it,” said Kourtney Redmond of the 761st Gun Club, a Black firearms education group based in the Chicago suburbs. “The police department and government isn’t going to save the Black community, and a lot of Black people are realizing the first line of defense is yourself.”
Amazing what happens when citizens see their neighborhoods destroyed (a la the summer of unrest in 2020) while getting little to no assistance from law enforcement or elected officials.
Again, the aforementioned data seems to fly in the face of Behar's premise that gun laws will change "once black people get guns." The data shows that black people have been acquiring firearms in record numbers over the past 2+ years, yet the only calls for "gun control" have been coming from the left.
Why are Democrats so hellbent on denying minorities their civil liberties?
