Killer Mike believes any new gun control laws in America will hurt Black people before any other group — but the rapper’s telling us a few others ways he thinks the spike in gun violence can be flattened.
Mike joined us Wednesday on “TMZ Live” to discuss potential curfews for minors in Atlanta — something he’s all for as a measure to mitigate violence … and, he says he had curfew when he was growing up in the area.
However, he remains firmly against the passage of new legislation as a means to reduce gun-related crime. Mike says he’s a Second Amendment guy, first and foremost, but adds he has another problem with tighter gun laws.
He explains why he believes those laws would impact Black Americans “worst and first.”

Mike tells us he’d rather see Black families armed, and better educated on the safer use and storage of weapons.
As you know, there have already been more than 300 mass shootings in the U.S. this year … putting the nation on track for the deadliest year ever.
Mike thinks another solution is more funding for community facilities — such as YMCAs — to give kids safe havens to avoid trouble.
He had a lot more to say about his hometown and his new solo album, “Michael” … and you can see the full interview on Wednesday’s “TMZ Live.” Check here for local listings, or to watch online.
