This has been posted here about a million times over the years. Talking about the abnegation of gun rights for slaves is a bit like saying the pity of a murder is that it deprived its victim of his right to a free press; technically true, perhaps, but rather beside the point. The interesting thing about this article and its repeated appearance here at FR is that it is a good example of how liberal doctrine dominates public debate. It's a variation of the "Giant Meteor to Strike Earth, Women and Minorities Most Effected" theme. The people pushing gun control will be happy to take guns from everybody, and what racism there is in it isn't directed at blacks. The key question is: who's pushing gun control hardest and who do they hate?
I don't get it.
And of course, you wouldn't ask that question unless you knew the answer. Wanna share?
