      Chappelle joked once that if black people want to see serious gun control in the US all they need to do is buy a gun themselves.

      It’s not really a joke, the pro gun Black Panthers are why the Northeast and California have stricter gun laws.

          I’m starting to think that this Reagan guy might actually have been a bit of a jerk

              Robert tends to do pretty great research and the stuff about Nancy wasn’t exactly a closely guarded secret. Those two really were two shits in a bowl
