The Center for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE) hosted a group of prominent figures from the African American community at 9:45A.M. on Friday, February 22nd at the National Press Club to speak out against gun control legislation currently being considered on Capitol Hill. CURE is the largest black conservative think tank in the nation and is headquartered in Washington, D.C. CURE organized the news conference in response to concerns shared by black conservatives that the Senate proposed laws will restrict their ability to defend themselves, their property and their families. They are also concerned that the proposed gun control legislation puts too much power in the hands of politicians. “I believe that it is our duty to stand together and challenge the proposals currently on the table in the Senate, which invoke painful memories of Jim Crow laws and black codes,” said CURE president and founder, Star Parker. “Black history is rife with government demands for background checks in order to qualify for constitutional rights. All Americans should be concerned.” Star Parker, a nationally syndicated columnist and other noted thought leaders, authors and speakers will make the case against the type of gun control measures President Obama and his liberal allies are proposing. While the group believes that Sandy Hook was a national tragedy, they oppose its use as an opportunity to advance government control and strip any American citizens of their constitutional rights. In the middle of Black History Month, CURE is calling for a serious national dialogue about the impact of gun control on the black community.
It’s from “Black Conservatives.” Of course you’ve never seen it on the evening news.
Congressional Leftists consistently elect to represent Second Amendment advocates as White rednecks.
This article should be national news.
Well said Sir!
I have posted this information for several years.
The democrats still prevent blacks in the cities to defend themselves and their families.
I agree that the NRA did in some part do the things that this video shows. It was not the only reason it was formed though.
The earliest history was about rifle marksmanship.

of course shows that armed civil rights tend to be more persuasive at times that disarmed ones.

Would this make anti-gun liberals pro-KKK?
“Would this make anti-gun liberals pro-KKK?”
Yes.
Also remember what Margaret Sanger started planned parenthood for? And democrats love baby killing of the undesirables.
SYG, Castle Doctrine and other self defense laws have roots in the push back against Jim Crow laws. Yet today's “black leaders” line up to help the Progressives destroy all of the progress made to secure black families.
