Why Blacks and Women Should Not Have Guns

The Democratic Party believes that it owns the African-American vote, and it also looks to women for much of its support.  This support requires serious reconsideration.  The Colorado Democratic Party, as represented by State Rep. Joe Salazar, has said openly that women are too mentally unstable to handle firearms responsibly.

Mfume's NAACP is not, however, the only source of African-American collaboration with racist gun laws.  Pennsylvania House Bill 521 would require concealed-carry permit holders to purchase $1 million in liability insurance.  Sponsors (we have not checked all of them) Waters, Brownlee, Thomas, and Brown are all African-Americans from Philadelphia who agree with racists that the basic right of self-defense should be contingent on one's socioeconomic status:

In 1879, the General Assembly of Tennessee banned the sale of any pistols other than "army or navy" model revolvers. This law effectively limited handgun ownership to whites, many of whom already possessed these Civil War service revolvers, or to those who could afford to purchase these more expensive firearms. These military firearms were among the best made and most expensive on the market, and were beyond the means of most blacks and laboring white people.

Racist swill from purported black leaders like Mfume and the above-named legislators is far more dangerous than that from traditional white supremacists, because most people recognize the latter for what they are and reject their words accordingly.  We encourage African-American voters to look instead to people like Ken Blanchard ("Black Man with a Gun"), and the authors of this piece at BlackPlanet, for guidance on the Second Amendment.

One would have to look at records of the practice to fully make the point, but yeah such vagueness wouldn’t even fly today.

It flew just fine until the legislature changed the law. In no small part due to the efforts of Suzanna Gratia Hupp, who parents were killed in the Killeen Luby's massacre.

Although admittedly by a few decades ago, the law was enforced pretty much against everyone, especially in the larger cities, not just Black and Brown folks.

Kodak...while likely not tremendously far off, my understanding is those are two different voting pattern maps, rather than a crime map and a voting map.

Darned autocorrect..
