Racist roots of gun control

Gun permits arrived after the civil war because the whites in the south feared freed blacks being armed. Permits were the method used to deny blacks the ability to lawfully own guns. It is my contention that any permitting scheme put in place by our legislators will have a racial impact as well. The people that need personal protection the most live in poor, crime ridden, mostly minority inhabited, inner city neighborhoods who can ill afford that addition expenses of permitting. The failed "Personal Protection bill" would have cost approximately $200 in training costs and fees.

I am shocked to think our legislators would support a permitting scheme that would cause a huge disparity, largely based on racial income disparities, in the ability to defend oneself.

The political rhetoric paints the Republicans as not caring about minorities and paints the democrats as the party that cares about them. We shall see if the political rhetoric is accurate.

If they were as Politically correct as they make themselves out to be, they would abolish all gun control.

I firmly believe in gun control. You should be able to control your gun well enough to hit your target.

So if any of these anti's would check on the programs and policies that they are pushing, they would find them to be RACIST! So I guess that would mean that the anti's are also RACIST for backing such a policy! I conclude that all anti gun nut jobs are a bunch of RACISTS!

I think that is the "logic" that they would use!

Rights are rights. None have value if any are lost. Because of this, I have always looked at the "anti-gun movement", as an "anti-rights movement". Hey, a cow is a cow, no matter what color you paint it.
I am all for the "idea" of a group like WAVE. My city could use all the help it can get. Bad people are the problem, not guns, or knifes, or pipes for that matter (Tom Barrett). Bad people need to be put in jail, and stay in jail. If it truly takes the loss of our rights to "keep us safe", I would have to say the laws just don't work. Our rights work just fine.
