You have no rights if you cannot defend them.
Even Islam mandates the dhimmis (non-Muslim second class citizens) be prohibited from owning weapons.

What % of that same demographic is/has been incarcerated (IE: More than likely to currently be ineligible, illegally I might add*, to exercise their 2nd A Rights)?

*One is either a felon, and thus should be behind bars, or a FREE Man with Rights. To say otherwise creates classes of Citizens and is antithesis to our Founding and Constitution.

Plus, though I might have signed up with them in the Past, the NRA does NOT care about the 2nd; they do/have backed ‘sensible gun control’ and Reid. Thanks, but no thanks. Give your time, and $$, to an organization that stands on principle(s).

The answer is about one quarter of all African American males have been convicted of a felony - technically they could still join the NRA. Couldn’t legally possess.

Another case has surfaced where Detroit police officers are charged with falsely arresting a legally armed black man for carrying a concealed weapon, when in fact, the citizen was legally openly carrying his firearm.   The charge is a five year felony in Michigan, so this is no laughing matter.

These guys are trying to link "Black Lives Matter" to the Second Amendment.
