Colorado is no exception to the anxiety about minorities packing guns.

California included.

years ago, when i was a LEO, i was "strongly encouraged" by the chief to attend a meeting of "the Sarah Brady gang".

when a man said that he believed that the Constitution of the USA protected the common man from harm by the government, one of the "officials" of the group said, "we just can't have those N#GGERS & spics carrying guns;they are ALL animals without sense".

when i spoke up against this OBVIOUS racism, i was told to "sit down & shut the (obscenity deleted) up! we don't want any input from (vulgarity deleted) like you".

so much for free speech & fair play.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

"An 1840 statute provided: That if any free Negro, mulatto, or free person of color, shall wear or carry about his or her person, or keep in his or her house, any shot gun, musket, rifle, pistol, sword, dagger or Bowie-knife, unless he or she shall have obtained a license therefore from the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions of his or her county, within one year preceding the wearing, keeping or carrying therefore, he or she shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and may be indicted therefore."

The year 1840 is not all that long ago in the grand scheme of things. This article is a real eye opener. At that time they did not justify gun control as a safety issue for the general population, but as a means to control one group of people. Only a government that fears its citizens wants to disarm them.

And of interest as well - the National Rifle Association is often implied or portrayed to be racist by the entertainment and news media. Yet it was the NRA which provided firearms and the training to use them to the male, black population of Monroe, N.C. back in the early '50's. The local KKK with the support of the Union County Sheriff was planning on denying these folks their right to vote. The NRA gave them the wherewithal to defend their Constitutional right to vote.
