South Africa Gun Owners Get Reprieve

Fortunately, some of their citizens recognize madness when they see it. The challenge to the FCA, and the interim reprieve granted by the court, are hopeful indicators. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column notes a legal stay of execution.

Also find out who AHSA is endorsing, and get the latest from my fellow GREs.

You reap what you sow. They let the blacks take over the govt. Now its becoming just like the rest of Africa. A mess!

So, "Abigail", which races are you personally superior to by virtue of your genetic heritage?

"Abigail": These problems have more to do with the communist/socialist orientation of the ANC Types and Mugabe Stalinist tyrants than mere Black Africanity. They used machine-guns & propaganda to take over, so of course they want any possible opposition to be disarmed, including their (as you seem to think) "fellow Blacks"(i.e.:politically suspect opposition, does the name Bhutelezi ring a bell?), so what did you expect?. SA has high crime because that's where the money is, period! It's not ethnocentrism, it's politics and power domination!. Look beyond the forest and see the bloody trees!...

Ok guys, I'm about as far from a racist as one can get, but I am haunted by a question asked of me a few years ago.

The question; "Can you name me any country in the world that has prospered and advanced liberty and civilization that was governed by people of color?"

I could not. I still can't. That flies in the face of all I have believed, but I still cannot name one.

In fairness, I have to assume the questioner had a legitimate point. I just don't know yet what it is. I think, maybe my ingrained abhorrence of racism, both as a victim and a spectator, may be the only thing keeping me from determining that people of color truly are inferior.

Talk about the horns of a dilemma! One thought, the one I hold dear, seems to be erroneous by the lack of an answer to the question which I cannot provide. The other, that all those racists I have spent my life hating may be right because I sure as Hell can't find any proof to the contrary.

I truly do hate my dilemma. Heritage, emotional attachment, and a belief in the Almighty leads me one way. History leads me another.

All this to say, that although Abigail seems to blame the troubles of Africa on the rise of blacks to positions of power, and others seem to lay the troubles at the philosophy of marxists and communists and statist, without race being a factor, I must ask where is the Jefferson, Monroe, Madison, Disraeli, deToqueville, among the people of color, and where are they in world politics?

I know this is not a popular question, can't call it a position, it is but a question, where are they?
