Interestingly, the origination of American Gun Prohibition thought was for the purpose of disarming Blacks.

Black Guns or Black Activists?

I heard Maj Toure talk before and he sounded like he really had his act together. I did not know about his politics other than he seemed to drive elite liberals and leftists crazy.

But some anecdotal evidence suggests that blacks have shown greater interest in gun ownership in recent years, fueled in large part by the rise of President Donald Trump, who has energized white nationalists and presided over a period of growing racial tension.

It’s Trump’s fault that Blacks want to own guns. Blacks want guns to protect them from White Nationalist.

They don’t want guns to protect themselves from the Blacks in their neighborhoods that rob, steal, rape and kill them.

Nah! It couldn’t be that.

And, it was the NRA buying guns for blacks to defend themselves against the (Democrat) KKK.

Per Ann Coulter;

The NRA opposed these discretionary gun permit laws and proceeded to grant NRA charters to blacks who sought to defend themselves from Klan violence — including the great civil rights hero Robert F. Williams.

A World War II Marine veteran, Williams returned home to Monroe, N.C., to find the Klan riding high — beating, lynching and murdering blacks at will. No one would join the NAACP for fear of Klan reprisals. Williams became president of the local chapter and increased membership from six to more than 200.

But it was not until he got a charter from the NRA in 1957 and founded the Black Armed Guard that the Klan got their comeuppance in Monroe.

Williams’ repeated thwarting of violent Klan attacks is described in his stirring book, “Negroes With Guns.” In one crucial battle, the Klan sieged the home of a black physician and his wife, but Williams and his Black Armed Guard stood sentry and repelled the larger, cowardly force. And that was the end of it.

As the Klan found out, it’s not so much fun when the rabbit’s got the gun.

The NRA’s proud history of fighting the Klan has been airbrushed out of the record by those who were complicit with the KKK, which is to say, the Democrats.

I'll wager that the law abiding black folks of Chicago have a very *keen* interest in exercising their 2nd Amendment rights...but the Ballet Dancer-In-Chief,among many others,won';t stand for it!

It makes me wonder if after years of being told that gun control makes you safer, the realization is that it doesn’t is starting to happen. I can’t recall a liberal plan that was marketed as being better for the country, actually made things better. I’d be hard pressed to name a republican plan either. The only things that seem to improve the country are when they remove laws and regulations. Regardless of party, most new laws seem to only increase the strangle hold on liberty.

Trump is the most popular President amongst black Americans in over 100years.

He is a virile and courageous Alpha Male with strong family values. He believes in working hard and sharing prosperity

Anyone know if Brandon Straka, founder of the WalkAway campaign, was at CPAC? Let’s pray that he’s running against Airhead Ocasio Cortex.

I’m a White NRA member and love the shotgun sports, trap, skeet & sporting clays. As long as a US citizen can honestly answer the questions on the ATF form 4473 and pass the instant check, I have no problem with his or her race, ethnic status or social class. Gun ownership is the right of all honest US citizens. It’s the criminals and other people who should not possess or wrongly use firearms that are the problem as to violent acts against others.

You mean Politico doesn’t favor armed uprisings by the “oppressed?”
