The Black community needs to fight back because of the racist sentiments held by those who would protect the right of gun manufacturers to flood the Black community, believing that human life is cheap there and that everyone is on drugs. From Sacramento... how unsurprising. They really should read through the 9th Circuit Judges' dissenting opinions from the Silviera (sp?) RKBA decision yesterday. One of the judges (I forget which) pointed out that gun control was used to control blacks during Reconstruction (or words to that effect). The NAACP ignores that fact completely, demands more gun control and slaps the "racist" label on anyone against who stands against such gun control.

Actually, blacks were "gun-controlled" from before the Revolution THROUGH about 1950--first through the 2nd Amendment which specified "persons" (you remember that blacks were NOT 'persons,' they were only 2/3rds of a 'person' for most purposes.
Then, after the 14th Amendment and the War of Northern Aggression, blacks were 'gun-controlled' through State Legislatures by various legerdemains and at least partly due to selective enforcement of anti-gun laws.
Only the NRA and the Republican Party have acted to enfranchise black gun-rights with "shall-issue" legislation. It certainly wasn't the NAACP..
