Hint: It's not the guy with the whip.
Did you know that the first gun control laws passed in this country were designed to keep slaves from protecting themselves? After all, you don't chain, lash or sell a person who has the power to prevent it.
After the Civil War, more laws were enacted to keep the newly- "emancipated" from owning guns. And with the wave of non-Anglo immigrations which took place thereafter, a host of additional gun control laws were passed.
Have things really changed in modern multi-cultural America? Why is it that the strictest laws preventing people from having the means to defend themselves are targeted at those communities where minority populations are greatest?
The shameful history of gun control is one of institutionalized subjugation and exploitation of the powerless by the elites. If we are truly a free nation, shouldn't we end such barbaric and racist
practices once and for all?
