On a warm fall day in South Dallas, ten revolutionaries dressed in kaffiyehs and ski masks jog the perimeter of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Park bellowing "No more pigs in our community!" Military discipline is in full effect as the joggers respond to two former Army Rangers in desert-camo brimmed hats with cries of "Sir, yes, sir!" The Huey P. Newton Gun Club is holding its regular Saturday fitness-training and self-defense class. Men in Che fatigues run with weight bags and roll around on the grass, knife-fighting one another with dull machetes. "I used to salute the [expletive] flag!" the cadets chant. "Now I use it for a rag!"
"A knife changes the whole game," one of the drill sergeants, who goes by the name Chief, explains, demonstrating how to perform a slash-and-stab maneuver on the torso of a wide-eyed girl in her 20s. A panhandler wanders up from the street. He is about to ask for spare change but then becomes interested. "What is this? Self-defense? That's cool." A pack of black bikers throw up their fists as they roar by.
Charles Goodson, the gun club's 31-year-old dreadlocked vegan co-founder, grew up less than a mile away. Both he and Darren X, the national field marshal of the New Black Panther Party, have been organizing around police-violence issues in Dallas for the past decade. Goodson says they worked together last year, during an armed rally in the small East Texas town of Hemphill, where they protested the police's failure to fully investigate the murder of a black man named Alfred Wright. The Dallas New Black Panthers have been carrying guns for years. In an effort to ratchet up their organizing efforts, they formed the Huey P. Newton Gun Club....

Hardly “military discipline.” They are out of step in every photo.
It's certainly not my favorite rifle, nor my favorite cartridge. It's effective at least to 200m. Again, I wonder as to the proficiency of these folks ... There's what the rifle can do, and then there's what the rifleman can do with it.
These boys playing soldier are only allowed to do it in areas abandoned by whites years ago - note the Martin Luther King Blvd.? They can’t do this in areas with paying customers/taxpayers, just in the ghettos. They can’t even deal with the Hispanic invasion, never mind bothering taxpaying citizens...
These days, larger caliber practice shooting can get expensive if you don’t roll your own ammo, so to speak.
I don’t have a carbine in 45 auto, unless you want to call my Kahr AO M1A Thompson a ‘carbine’ :0)
They’re just marching in “route step”........:0)
“Carbine” is exactly what I’d call it, even though “light” is not legitimately part of its description.
FWIW, I’ve long thought that 10mm would be the ideal cartridge for that weapon.
Rotflmao!!! Check out the photo with the caption that reads “Darren X and his AR-15” and have a good laugh. It is in fact a wonderfully affordable High Point carbine. It is most likely a 995TSFG 9mm with a stock handgrip that retails for about $270 now that they have had so much press of late. They should run about $220 but they have become very popular as a reasonably reliable low end carbine.
If the media can’t do even basic research, how can we trust any aspect of what is being reported here?!?
Lol...yes...I’m not the only one having a good chuckle this AM. These are nice low end carbines, btw.
It’s fun to shoot. Surprisingly less recoil than you might expect. There’s a pretty hefty bolt that has to swing back and forth. That takes a lot of momentum out of the firing. But as you say, it’s heavier than you would like.
“I’m beginning to wonder just what the Confederacy was thinking when they brought all those slaves here”
Saw a funny bumper sticker a few years ago, went like this; “my great grand pappy once said that if he’d a known things were gonna turn out like this he woulda picked his own cotton” :)
I think my favorite was Tina Gonzalez.
"Tina González of the Indigenous People's Liberation Party"
So - Who gets the task of explaining to Tina that her surname (not to mention her Castillian profile) are about as far from "indigenous" as a body could get.
In fact, I think Tina needs a theme song.
Iberia is calling, Tina!
Mine was $249 back in 2002......even then I think I paid top dollar for it, though.
Arresting blacks is racist, regardless of the crime. Blacks want free reign to "act" as they please. "Freedom" means freedom to do any despicable act they want. Animals.
LOL! What a group of rag-tag ragamuffins!
One guy has a “Hi-Point” POS carbine, another “lady” (or is it a man—I can’t tell LOL) has an SKS.
I bet neither one has bothered to sight their “battle rifle” in once.
If the SHTF for real, these idiots would be one of the first to go.....
Oh I’m sure there are a few agitators from the Alphabet agencies among that group ;)
Africans had practiced slavery since ancient times. In most cases, the slaves had been captured in warfare and sold to Arab traders of northern Africa. Portugal and Spain became increasingly involved in the African slave trade during the early 1500's, after they had established colonies in the Americas. Portugal acquired African slaves to work on sugar plantations that its colonists developed in Brazil. Spain used slaves on its sugar plantations in the West Indies. During the early 1600's, the Netherlands, France, and England also began to use African slaves in the American colonies.
The Europeans obtained slaves from black Africans who continued to sell their war captives or trade them for rum, cloth, and other items, especially guns. The Africans needed the guns for use in their constant warfare with neighboring peoples. The slave trade took several triangular routes. Over one route, ships from Europe transported manufactured goods to the west coast of Africa. There, traders exchanged the goods for slaves. Next, the slaves were carried across the Atlantic Ocean to the West Indies and sold for huge profits. This part of the route was called the Middle Passage. The traders used much of their earnings to buy sugar, coffee, and tobacco in the West Indies. The ships then took these products to Europe.
On another triangular route, ships from the New England Colonies carry rum and other products to Africa, where they were exchanged for slaves. The ships then transported the slaves to the West Indies to be sold. The slave traders used some of their profits to buy sugar and molasses, which they took back to New England and sold to rum producers.
I would say that this little band of misfits would break within seconds of real contact...it is different to parade around in a civilized society than it is when things go “tits up” as the infantry say...
Newton of the Black Painters was nothing more than a drug head womanizing thug..and died as such by the very people he represented....how ironic....
To the media a Hi-Point carbine is a fully automatic military style assault rifle. Don’t get me wrong, I have one of those and it will kill anyone on the wrong end when it’s fired even though it is cheaply made.
Well said, FRiend
Liberals have also pined for universal govt run health care. Thats turning out to be a train wreck of monumental proportions. Liberals are on the cusp of discovering this. That helps put the ‘pining for a race war’ in context. They seem oblivious to the fact it WILL effect them personally.
