Here's something in recent news about Blacks and guns: Gun control dates back to laws before and after the Civil War that prohibited or restricted African Americans from owning firearms, a group of black leaders said Friday at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
History is [rife] with examples. Theres a direct correlation between gun control and black people control, Stacy Swimp, president and CFO of the Frederick Douglass Society, said at the event. Swimp compared the call for universal background checks for gun purchase to the time when blacks were required to register with the government. The first gun laws were put into place to register black folks, to make sure that they would know who we were that we could not defend ourselves, Swimp said. I think if you look right after the Emancipation Proclamation what was going on down in the southern states, its very clear that the Dixiecrats wanted to disarm black people to keep us from defending ourselves against the Klansman, who were murdering white and black Republicans to control the ballot box, Swimp said. So I think history is [rife] with examples. Theres a direct correlation between gun control and black people control. http://cnsnews.com/news/article/black-leaders-direct-correlation-between-gun-control-and-black-people-control J - Ninety percent of politicians give the other ten percent a bad reputation. - Henry Kissinger Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, go out and buy some more tunnel. - John Quinton On Sat, Feb 23, 2013 at 4:07 PM, Jerry Barnes <[email protected]> wrote: > "I surely do not agree with this in any way, and I am sure that gun > activists on this forum do not either." > > I found that extremist like to find extremists on the other end of the > spectrum and use those extremist to paint the opposition with a broad > brush. > > > J > > - > > Ninety percent of politicians give the other ten percent a bad reputation. > - Henry Kissinger > > Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, > go out and buy some more tunnel. - John Qu ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:361536 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
