Defending the Truth

The Racist Roots of Gun Control

The historical record provides compelling evidence that racism underlies gun control laws -- and not in any subtle way. Throughout much of American history, gun control was openly stated as a method for keeping blacks and Hispanics "in their place," and to quiet the racial fears of whites. This paper is intended to provide a brief summary of this unholy alliance of gun control and racism, and to suggest that gun control laws should be regarded as "suspect ideas," analogous to the "suspect classifications" theory of discrimination already part of the American legal system.
Racist arms laws predate the establishment of the United States. Starting in 1751, the French Black Code required Louisiana colonists to stop any blacks, and if necessary, beat "any black carrying any potential weapon, such as a cane." If a black refused to stop on demand, and was on horseback, the colonist was authorized to "shoot to kill." [1] Slave possession of firearms was a necessity at times in a frontier society, yet laws continued to be passed in an attempt to prohibit slaves or free blacks from possessing firearms, except under very restrictively controlled conditions. [2] Similarly, in the sixteenth century the colony of New Spain, terrified of black slave revolts, prohibited all blacks, free and slave, from carrying arms.

Funny how the same Liberal Socialist politicians who back gun control aka oppression either have concealed carry permits or have armed body guards.

Guns Do not kill just like Macdonald's did not make Rosie o donald overweight.

God Bless Joe Horn who delft with 2 Mexican Criminals Who not only broke Us Law but were dumb enough to break into Homes in Texas which has the Castle Doctrine.

AMEN!

Well said!

My gun and my bow are just tools...I am the weapon.

The same is true with unions. Unions were created to prevent poor blacks who migrated from the south to the north from getting employment.

However, when you are liberal you past intentions do not apply, only if you are conservative does it matter.

If you are a Democrat and were a member of the KKK it does not hold true about your views in your past. And you can be the heart and soul of your party.

if you are Republican and a KKK member decides to joint your party all members are held accoutable.
