Freedoms can be limited by safety. Let me see, if I can prove that majority of the gun violence is committed by blacks in my city, can I limit their rights to buy guns??? Of course the ACLU would argue that such laws would violate the Civil Rights of minorities, but if one Bill of Rights can be limited due to safety, why not the other rights listed in the Bill of Rights???

Yep. It was done in New York City around 1910 (Black Laws) specifically prohibited African-Americans from owning firearms. Yet another “reasonable” gun control law under the rubric of public safety (it’s for the children). How long before the Brady Bunch demands that firearms be taken away from all you hard-drinking and hot-headed Irishmen?
