'Negroes With Guns'
Dr. Michael S. Brown
Dec. 28, 2001
The year was 1957. Monroe, N.C., was a rigidly segregated town where all levels of white society and government were dedicated to preserving the racial status quo. Blacks who dared to speak out were subject to brutal, sadistic violence.
It was common practice for convoys of Ku Klux Klan members to drive through black neighborhoods shooting in all directions. A black physician who owned a nice brick house on a main road was a frequent target of racist anger.
In the summer of 1957, a Klan motorcade sent to attack the house was met by a disciplined volley of rifle fire from a group of black veterans and NRA members led by civil rights activist Robert F. Williams.
Using military-surplus rifles from behind sandbag fortifications, the small band of freedom fighters drove off the larger force of Klansmen with no casualties reported on either side.

In 1926 or 27, Dr Sweet defended himself with his gun. He was put on trial and was found NOT GUILTY. Dr Sweet was a black man.
The Powers that Be, specifically the Klan, did not like black men with guns. Many Anti Self Defense suburbanites, especially in the gated community, and especially the LIMO LIBS have that same attitude today.
Those powers that be invented the "discretionary" system of CCW. Oh, it was never supposed to be applied to white, right?? Before July 1 2001, you needed to have 2 of the three people on the gun board support you having a CCW. The three on the board are a State Police top Brass who ALWAYS voted no, and the county prosecutor(usually no) and the sheriff(Depends on who).
Guess what - What can happen to the black man one day, happens to the white man the next day.
now go take their guns, jesse & al!!!
He's a sellout.
i like the sound of that!
line 'em up, squeeze 'em off!
