If King were alive today, he’d be a TV game show host...

Or a used car saleman...

King would not become the NRA’s Salesman of the Year...

Obama’s got that sewn up...

Yada, yada, yada . . . Many people have called for a repeal of the 2nd Amendment! And, many people are also mentally deranged.

It’s good that one person (who is dead) gets to make these decisions for the rest of us. :)

Yep, it’s amazing how many reporters can start an article talking about “the unspeakable horror”, and then go on and on for another 3,000 words.

By the way, reporters, it was not a “tragedy”. It was a deliberate, criminal act carried out by an evil nutcase.

The landslides in Brazil were a tragedy.

Mr. Journalist who wants to abolish the Second Amendment,

Before publishing your column calling for the eradication of gun rights did you do all of the following?

a) Undergo a Federal background check to see if you should be allowed to exercise your First Amendment rights.

b) Fill out and sign an affidavit to testify that you should be allowed to exercise your First Amendment rights.

c) Wait for five days to “cool down” before you exercised your First Amendment rights.

d) Have your column writings tested by local authorities with a copy of your writing style on file. (Otherwise known as a “ballistic fingerprinting”)

e) Have the serial number of your column recorded with your name and address by local, state, and federal authorities.

f) Get fingerprinted by your local police.

g) Take a mandatory 16-hour Journalism Safety course.

h) Have your name and address published in the local newspaper stating that you had applied for a permit to carry your column around with you.
(In Ohio)

j) Are you required to keep your columns locked in a cabinet when not in use.

k) are you allowed to write only one column every 30 days?

l)Do you pay special taxes on ink, newsprint and presses.

m)Licensing system to own and operate printing presses

A man who led a nonviolent civil rights movement in which many of its supporters were the victims of violence, including gun violence, would likely support reforms of gun laws

BS the biggest victims of gun control have been blacks and minority's

non violent resistance only works on people and governments with a conscience

"Of King and Arizona: Civil rights leader would have favored repeal of 2nd Amendment"

Ironic. I've heard some of the very first "gun control" laws in this country were passed in the South after Reconstruction, specifically to keep blacks from getting arms.

I’m sure this has been gone over before, not much gets past freepers.

The symbols used on the map showing what look like targets over states of key races, were from the USGS. They are map symbols used to show important locations.

So is the left going to go after the USGS? I doubt it.

Martin King was not committed to nonviolence at the beginning of the bus protest. As white violence became increasingly focused on King personally through police harassment, the bombing of his home, volumes of hate mail, and frequent telephone threats of harm, King, seeking to protect himself and his family from white violence, applied for a gun permit, which, of course, was rejected. The threat of violence was so real that armed blacks took turns guarding King’s home. King also kept a loaded gun in his house, which Bayard Rustin of the War Resistance League nearly sat on during a visit.


The author should realize that for many decades, the Second Amendment was effectively repealed by police for all Blacks, in order to insure that white lynch mobs would be able to proceed unopposed.

“I don’t give damn what MLK would have wanted.”

Especially if he would have wanted to eliminate a Constitutionally-granted right...but even if he’d wanted the Jets to wear blue, who gives a rat’s arse about his hypothetical “wants”?
