NAACP Urges National Gun Confiscation
Daily Caller ^ | March 6, 2018 | Joe Simonson

Posted on 03/06/2018 3:46:33 PM PST by Zakeet

NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson called for a national gun confiscation program in a syndicated column through Black Press USA on Monday.

Comparing recent school shootings to the violence and discrimination black students faced after the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision, Johnson wrote that "fear and terror still exist in our children’s classrooms" because of the "National Rifle Association and the politicians [sic] that support them."

"Over 80 percent of gun deaths of African Americans are homicides. Roughly speaking, 1 out of every 3 African American males who die between the ages of 15 and 19 is killed by gun violence. African American children and teens were less than 15 percent of the total child population in 2008 and 2009 but accounted for 45 percent of all child- and teen-related gun deaths. These numbers are tragic and intolerable, but most of all they are preventable," Johnson wrote.

That’s right. They are. STOP KILLING EACH OTHER!

This guy is definitely at the left end of the bell curve if he wants an America where only the po-po have guns.

If guns are taken away from black people the homicide rate would go down incredibly.

Seems like Clarence Thomas thought that in another century, black people wanted to be armed to avoid being lynched by a mob.

“Colored people” ( or anybody) without defensive firearms would be greatly endangered - like 200 years ago when they were banned from owning guns. This kind of “racial advicacy” is the very LAST thing black Americans need! NAACP should be organizing firearms safety and training courses for its members

NAACP can be the test confiscaters. Start in the hood first and we’ll see how it goes.

“NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson wants white police to confiscate all the guns from black people.”

That’s our narrative on this.

The NAACP has enslaved itself to the Democrat Party and does as it is told to do.

In defense of the NAACP guy, the title of the article is not what he said ( according to the article). He said background checks and banning assault weapons. Basically what all democrats are saying. Not to take ‘confiscate’ all the guns. Which obviously would be ridiculous.

I think I see their point.

It IS, no doubt MUCH more difficult to rape, assault, murder, loot, riot, burn, steal, destroy, etc. with an armed population that could resist.
