Condoleeza Rice told the largely liberal panel and audience of “The View” on ABC that had it not been for guns, her family and her neighbors would’ve suffered even more during the segregated society that was in place in her youth in the South.
Bam. That’s it in a nutshell — this is why founders saw fit to put in place a Second Amendment. It wasn’t a right to hunt they were defending; it was a God-given right to protect one’s self and one’s family from harm. And specifically: from harm from the government.
“Let me tell you why I’m a defender of the Second Amendment,” Rice said, the Blaze reported. “I grew up in Alabama in the late ‘50s, early ‘60s. There was no way that Bull Connor and the Birmingham police were going to protect you. When knight riders would come through our neighborhood, my father and friends would take their guns and fire in the air if anybody came through. I don’t think they actually hit anybody. But they protected the neighborhood.”
And on that whole leftist idea of registering gun owners and collecting their names and personal information to put into some sort of Big Database in the Sky?
“I’m sure if Bull Connor had known where [the guns and gun owners] were, he would have rounded them up,” Rice said. “I don’t favor some things like gun registration.”
This is classic history in action.

Well done! Bravo!
And yes, I know Powell's positions aren't always in alignment with my own, but it would have been worth it just to watch the symphony of exploding heads on the Left.
Well worth a quick read on the racist beginning of gun laws in the south.

What have exploded heads on the Right, too
Not to mention FR heads. But we didn’t do all that much better with Dubya.
“When knight riders would come through our neighborhood...”
Knight riders? Guys in plate armor, with swords and lances? Must have been quite a spectacle.
Dubya. What a joke. Can you imagine a debate between Trump and that little wussy? Dubya would run crying to momma.
I wonder if anything Condi said registered with anyone in that audience.
Yes, well done. It would have been gravy though if she would have continued and stated that Bull Conner and the rest of the Southern government of that time - local/state/Federal - were all Democrats! That would have made their heads explode.
Powell was well known at the time, but Rice not so much. She came to prominence after 2000, in the Bush administration.
2008 would have been much better for this team. They could have taken on Obama and his gang. Then again, Powell had a soft spot for the kid and even voted for him, I'm told.
They were the Knight Riders.
Knights of the KKK
You got Bush-Rice-Powell and a twenty-years war. So much for tweaking the Left.
Powell is a fraud. He voted for DingleBarry twice.
Perhaps. I’ve always seen it spelled “night riders”, though.
This article is totally negated by the recent interview Condoleezza Rice gave where she said we have to reconsider what the Second Amendment actually means. She is a rino fraud.

Yes, the Knights of the KKK. Have you heard of them?
