Exposing the Racist Core of Leftist Gun Control

The first thing you need to know about gun control is that it is the government telling you that it doesn’t trust you.  It is control.

In fact, gun control has racial roots.  It is a left-wing lynching.  That’s what gun control is.

Chief Justice Roger

Taney was a segregationist.  And he did not believe that free black men and women in the United States aught to be free, nor did he believe that they should own firearms.  And that was actually part in his decision on how he ruled the way he did in the Dredd Scott case.  He wrote, if free blacks were “…entitled to the privileges and immunities of citizens,

it would exempt them from the operation of the special laws and from the police regulations which they considered to be necessary for their own safety.”  Now the most important of these regulations were racist gun laws.

I think about it again when I think about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.  You know, he was denied a concealed-carry permit.  That is a true story.  I know a lot of people who are gun-control advocates like to lie and say otherwise, but he was denied a permit.  And even though his house had been bombed, even though there had been attempts on his life – a woman tried to stab him when he was doing a meet-and-greet – even with all of that, they still did not think it was necessary for Dr. King to have a concealed-carry permit.  Now, I’m not saying that would make what happened different.  Maybe it would have changed history, maybe it wouldn’t have.  But that is irrelevant to the fact that no one should have to plead and beg for their right to self-defense.

I love it when I hear the argument, “Well, Dana, Dr. King was a believer in and a practitioner of non-violence.”  Yes.  I like how you cherry-picked that.  But let’s actually look at what he wrote about that.  He did believe in violence exercised in merely self-defense, and he also wrote, “When the Negro uses force in self-defense, he does not forfeit support — he may even win it, by the courage and self-respect it reflects.”  And that ends their argument.
