African-Americans Against Gun Control

On a dark day in our nation's history -September 28, 1868- a mob of crazed, racist Democrats slaughtered 300+ African-American Republicans at Opelousas, Louisiana... 

The gruesome series of events was started when a group of Democrats attacked a newspaper editor, a white Republican and school-teacher of ex-slaves. When some African-Americans rushed to the assistance of a friend under attack, the Democrats doubled-down and went on a 'Negro hunt'... ethnically-cleansing the town and environs of ever single black man, woman, and child they were able to track-down.

But none of the besieged blacks had guns with which to defend themselves nor their families- the Democrats had taken them.

Today, there's a group called the Center for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE) that consists of prominent figures from the African American community who are standing united  against the misguided, ineffective, and unconstitutional gun control legislation currently being considered on Capitol Hill.

CURE has launched the Never Again Campaign to educate Americans re. the effect of gun control on the historical black experience in this country. During the Black Codes the right to bear arms was taken away from African-Americans, to be perpetuated under Jim Crow laws.

Considering their history -and the dangerous urban communities gun control has done nothing to help- African-Americans have plenty of good reason to not be handing over their right to protect themselves
-just the same as anybody else.

The group just released this incredibly powerful video/ad to aid in the battle to preserve our nation's precious 2nd Amendment rights... a must see

It would give to persons of the negro race, who were recognised as citizens in any one State of the Union,

the right to enter every other State whenever they pleased, singly or in companies, without pass or passport, and without obstruction, to sojourn there as long as they pleased, to go where they pleased at every hour of the day or night without molestation, unless they committed some violation of law for which a white man would be punished;

and it would give them the full liberty of speech in public and in private upon all subjects upon which its own citizens might speak; to hold public meetings upon political affairs,

and to KEEP AND CARRY ARMS wherever they went.
