The View host Joy Behar faced ridicule for claiming on her show, “Once black people get guns in this country, the gun laws will change.”
Behar made the comments on the same day that House Democrats passed a sweeping gun control bill that would raise the age at which semi-automatics can be purchased from 18-21, although the legislation is almost certain to fail.
The host was responding to her black colleague claiming that, “Most AR-15 owners are former military…so that’s all I’m saying is that they’re not just crazy people.”
“Here’s the thing, once black people get guns in this country, the gun laws will change, trust me,” Behar responded.

Perhaps Behar should have just kept her mouth shut.
Meanwhile, Salon was forced to change the following headline after claims of racism.
