Black Leaders: Gun Control is "Black People Control"

A number of African-American leaders joined together Friday to challenge the gun control proposals currently being considered on Capitol Hill, claiming gun control laws are inherently racist. “There’s a direct correlation between gun control and black people control,” Stacy Swimp, president and CFO of the Frederick Douglass Society, said at the event at the press conference sponsored by the Center for Urban Renewal and Education (C.U.R.E). Swimp compared the call for universal background checks for gun purchase to the time when blacks were required to register with the government.

“The first gun laws were put into place to register black folks, to make sure that they would know who we were – that we could not defend ourselves,” Swimp said.

“I think if you look right after the Emancipation Proclamation – what was going on down in the southern states, it’s very clear that the Dixiecrats wanted to disarm black people to keep us from defending ourselves against the Klansman, who were murdering white and black Republicans to control the ballot box,” Swimp said.

Niger Ennis, President of CORE, Congress for Racial Equality, one of the oldest civil rights organizations in the country, agreed that “gun control has ultimately been about people control.”

Speakers of the event praised the National Rifle association, explaining the organizations contribution to Civil Rights.

“The National Rifle Association was founded by religious leaders who wanted to protect freed slaves from the Ku Klux Klan” said Harry Alford, the president of the Black Chamber of Commerce. Many of us probably wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for the NRA."

This is the means of instituting the Communist Manifesto into our lives, and government.. First act is to control resistance.. Guns in the hands of the resistant is forbidden..

Not to worry, no one will ever know this stuff, except folks that care about America, and how we will lose our freedom because they were too lazy, or stupid to question his credentials, which were hidden by a media that endorses his Marxist views.. We must keep trying.. Thanks for your efforts.. :)

Gun control is ALL people control. Gun ownership is the only thing that keeps an evil government in check.
