What the Panther Taught the Eagle Redux

Do you think the people fighting gun control were supporters of the Black Panthers back in the '60s?
It's not unheard of for gun rights advocates to support the right of the Panthers to keep and bear arms for righteous purposes.

I know some who disparage Amendment II project and accuse us of only caring about our pet right and the rest be damned, but my experience is that many of the hardest core RKBA activists have been promoting what Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership calls a "Bill of Rights Culture"-- for years.

If you'd take the time to learn about what you write, "Authorized Journalist" Howard Hoffman, instead of assuming your biases are all the foundation you need, you would know that.

David,

I keep a copy of your article "What the Panther Taught the Eagle" on my computer as a reference.

I am amused by gun banners who think gun owners are bigots and uncivilized that we don't respect human rights.

In Dave Hardy's EXCELLENT documentary "In Search of the Second Amendment" the racist roots of gun control are well documented. Racism is the dirty little secret of the gun control movement.

They ascribe to us their own motivations I think.
