Sharpton assails NRA for 'whites only' approach to gun rights
Politico ^ | July 9, 2016 | Azi Paybarah

Posted on 07/10/2016 1:00:14 PM PDT by Zakeet

The Rev. Al Sharpton challenged the National Rifle Association to defend the gun rights of two black men killed in police encounters last week in Louisiana and Minnesota. The victims - Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, respectively - were carrying guns when they were approached by police officers and shot. Video of the incidents sparked protests around the country last week.

"Both of them were killed by police based on 'they had a gun,'" Sharpton said at his weekly rally in Harlem. "Now I missed the NRA coming out and defending the gun rights they legally had. Where is the NRA? Where is [NRA president] Wayne LaPierre now? Do you have a Second Amendment right or did you not get down, Mr. Pierre, to the 14th, 15th and 16th amendments? Maybe you mean the Second Amendment is for whites only."

The only statement that he had a CCW permit was the one made by the girl friend.

It seems that the local authorities deny that a gun permit was issued http://www.gunssavelife.com/?p=21509

“Can Al Sharpton really be this inane?”

Like a fox. His people eat this stuff up.

(I only used the word “stuff” to keep it family-friedly.)

Tell Sharpton if he does not shut up, we will implement Spear Control.

Highlights a HUGE problem.

Blacks see guns rights as shooting anyone they want.

As a lover of raw turnips, I just can’t eat cooked turnips. I have never heard of pickling them. Where do I find a recipe> Are they sweet pickles ala pickled beets? Or are they more like dill? Inquiring minds want to know.

A lot of recipes here:

I recommend the Lebanese pickled turnips.
