a LOT of gun control CAME from RACISM!

Liberals are always twisting themselves in knots trying to find ways to demonize gun owners and anyone they disagree with in general. Now under the guise of “new research” comes the idea that opposition to gun control is because of white resentment of minorities.
The idea and the articles really are funny, in a sad way. The Washington Post breathlessly said that researchers “found that whites were significantly less likely to support gun control measures when they had recently looked at pictures of black people, than when they had looked at pictures of white people.”
The logical flaw in that statement apparently was not evident to the intrepid staff at the Post, so anxious were they to have their preconceptions affirmed. According to this idiotic world view, whites will only support gun control if they are actively looking at pictures of black people. If only they would stop looking at those photos, things would be better for the country! When they only look at pictures of white people, support for gun control goes up, according to the Post.

“I think, Therefore I am”, RACIST.
Who gives a shite about what liberals think. They laugh at the thought of rounding up 12 million illegal aliens. We laugh at the thought of rounding up 300 million guns.
We didn’t
They stole and continue to steal elections with fraud.
Their Only Weapon
A correspondent on Lawrence Auster’s site,
commenting on republican Arkansas Governor Huckabee’s feeling that racism is fueling the anti-immigration sentiment, wrote:
“All he has to do is stand up there, give one inane comment after another and use the word that puts trembling in the hearts of the American people and shut them down. Racist.”
A cartoon I saw recently showed a Mexican-flag-waving illegal snarling at a white man, saying something like “Let me into your prosperous country, you damned racist xenophobe.” It captured perfectly the dynamic involved in the immigration debate: people who have no leverage other than guilt are using it to control us.
What are they going to do the day that white people stop running from that word, “racist”?
I have begun, among my white friends, to acknowledge that I am a racist. I say, “If by racist, you mean that I think there are actual differences, genetic differences, between racial groups that have real consequences, then yes I am a racist. If you mean that I feel more of an affinity for people of my ethnic group, that I feel more comfortable and at home with them, then yes I am a racist. If you mean I put the interests of my people, my ethnic group, ahead of the interests of others just as I put my family’s interests over others, then yes I am a racist. But if by “racist” you mean someone who believes in genocide or slavery or hatred or oppression of other ethnic groups, then no, I am not a racist.”
I sense that many white people have had enough of being bullied with the “racist” label. But there are two ways of handling that accusation. One is to claim that you’re not actually a racist. This is the approach most whites take right now, but it hands all of the power over to the non-white person, who can then act as judge and jury on the evidence to decide whether the white person is a racist or not. The other approach is to say, “yeah, I’m a racist; so what?” There is no answer to that. If you prefer your own people and put their interests ahead of others’ without engaging in hatred or violence, what’s it to them?
Perhaps the non-whites and liberals are flinging the “racist” accusation with such vehemence because they sense that the white majority is losing patience. Their one tool, their one way of controlling white people, is losing its efficacy, so they ramp up the volume and the bitterness to try to keep the upper hand. Their worst nightmare is that white people stop flinching at the word because that will be the day that anti-whites (both non-whites and whites who scorn whiteness) lose their only weapon.
But while we need to assert that we, like every other healthy people on earth, are indeed “racists”, what we want to avoid this time is letting the pendulum swing back the other way into hatred. We don’t want another Hitler. We don’t want burning crosses. We don’t want oppression and injustice. We just want to assert our right to survive as a distinct people and to separate ourselves physically and politically from those who threaten our safety, prosperity, and unique identity.
“At what point did we let everyone out of the nut house and give them control over us?”
It pretty much started in the middle 1960s.

I’ve taught NRA handgun courses to a lot of racist blacks. Dang racists!
"Americans must destroy the demon of political correctness, start facing reality, and stop living in a fantasy world where the bogeyman of racism is everywhere "
There are only two answers to the charge of racism:
“So what.”
“What’s your point?”
I might prefer....”I’m an American, are you something else?”
Pesky little historical facts.

It would give to persons of the negro race, who were recognised as citizens in any one State of the Union, the right to enter every other State whenever they pleased, singly or in companies, without pass or passport, and without obstruction, to sojourn there as long as they pleased, to go where they pleased at every hour of the day or night without molestation, unless they committed some violation of law for which a white man would be punished;
and it would give them the full liberty of speech in public and in private upon all subjects upon which its own citizens might speak; to hold public meetings upon political affairs,
and to KEEP AND CARRY ARMS wherever they went.
“Now under the guise of “new research” comes the idea that opposition to gun control is because of white resentment of minorities.”
Quite racist to assume only minorities commit crimes.
Sadly, in 1968, the gun-grabbers in the news business wouldn’t let us carry! I suggested it.
Here in Houston I am finding more blacks who are pro-2A. Yesterday at a McDonalds a black man said to me “I am licensed to carry”, I assumed he thought I may have seen his weapon and I was concerned for my safety. I replied “I submitted my License to Carry paperwork two weeks ago. How long did it take for your LTC to arrive?” At that point it was not black and white, it was two people who believed in exercising their Second Amendment Rights, trading notes on shooting ranges.
Molon Labe!
