Group
Groups may also have their own aspects of gun politics. Ethnic groups, clans, political parties, private clubs, independent (non-state-sanctioned) militias, gangs, and other forms of group affiliations may have politics towards guns, both in favor or against their presence or use. Groups may have special legal cases separate from those of the individual, or may have their own collective political positions, ethics and practices towards guns. For example, after a shooting incident, in July 2006, Miami Hurricanes coach Larry Coker made a policy for the team banning the ownership of guns by his players.

Famous quotes containing the word group:
“I can’t think of a single supposedly Black issue that hasn’t wasted the original Black target group and then spread like the measles to outlying white experience.”
—June Jordan (b. 1936)
“No other group in America has so had their identity socialized out of existence as have black women.... When black people are talked about the focus tends to be on black men; and when women are talked about the focus tends to be on white women.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
“Just as a person who is always asserting that he is too good-natured is the very one from whom to expect, on some occasion, the coldest and most unconcerned cruelty, so when any group sees itself as the bearer of civilization this very belief will betray it into behaving barbarously at the first opportunity.”
—Simone Weil (1910–1943)
