Dear Gov. Cooper,
We write to you today as citizens of the state of North Carolina, many of whom voted for you, who care deeply about social justice issues, and who own firearms. We are writing to you about H.B. 398, which has passed the North Carolina House and Senate on party-line votes and now sits at your desk. We ask you, despite the partisan nature of previous votes, to sign this bill, as we consider the current law does nothing to promote firearms safety or social justice, and instead is a tax and legal burden on working class people who seek to defend themselves legally.
The law as it stands currently, which you would preserve by your veto, was enacted in the 1920’s, during a time when your party was on the opposite end of the political spectrum and walked hand-in-hand with the Ku Klux Klan. The North Carolina Supreme Court had just overturned a previous law that explicitly banned Black people from owning handguns, and that the racist Dixiecrats sought to re-implement as de facto law. They created the current handgun permit law, which requires anyone seeking to own a handgun to obtain permission from their local sheriff. A hundred years ago, this meant crooked and racist cops were given free reign to grant pistol purchase permits for white citizens and deny them for black citizens.
Today much has changed in our society. Certainly few sheriffs would openly claim to deny permits to black people but many of us, black, brown and white, harbor strong concerns about lingering racism within the institution of the police, and consider arbitrary discretion over handgun ownership to be ripe for the abuse of power, exactly as the law was designed to be a century

Your stupidity is beyond belief. Even your "Comrade Masters" call you useful idiots.
Regarding the 2nd paragraph in your letter above, the DemoKKKrat (aka Commucrat Party) has always and will always be the party of gun control, human rights violtions, slavery, totalitarism and authoritarianism. Howver, the etenally dim witted and those with delusions of their own grandeur will forever flock to their ranks.
The DemoKKKrat party has never moved from a "time when your party was on the opposite end of the political spectrum and walked hand-in-hand with the Ku Klux Klan." In fact, if anything they have moved further to the left and become more radical and evil than ever.
By the way, I hope you enjoy the gulag. The day when you are no longer needed by them is rapidly approaching.
A wake up call that the other side is armed?
They may be idiots, but they write well enough to put most Californians to shame.
Had no idea there was such a thing.
Just looking at the Bill Summary, isn’t NC HB 398 a good thing?
“The PCS for HB 398 would repeal the State law requirement to obtain either a purchase permit or concealed handgun permit prior to purchase or receipt of a pistol, and make related conforming changes.”
Nor I but I think that is the idea.
They don’t want normal Americans to know.
I’m thinking this is their model for the new Police State.
Every American has the right to be armed. People like the SRA concern me, though. As history shows us, about 10 seconds after people like the SRA figure out how to use guns, they tend to stick them in to the backs of people's heads that they disagree with and pull the trigger.
