Killer Mike, the Atlanta-based hip hop musician, has spoken out about gun control laws and their impact on Black Americans. He argues that any new gun control laws in America will hurt Black people before any other group, as past laws have been used to control Black Americans by disarming them and leaving them vulnerable to violent oppression. Instead, Killer Mike suggests that Black families should be armed and better educated about the safe use and storage of weapons. He also proposes more funding for community facilities like YMCAs to provide safe spaces for children to avoid violence and trouble.

Killer Mike is not one to shy away from controversial issues, as he previously addressed the riots and protests that followed George Floyd’s death in 2020. He reminded people to take a step back from the emotions of the moment and not to burn their own house down in anger. Killer Mike also criticized the media for inflaming fear and anger and called for more hope and positivity.
