[We] also can't forget to look at race--not as a cause of violent crime, but as an indicator of populations most directly affected by and responsive to a continuing history of destructive government policies. If we're afraid to even address this, we're never going to be able to make things right. And those hurt the most by this self-imposed blindness will continue to be the least prosperous and protected among us. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column continues on the theme of minority citizen-targeted disarmament.
Also, South Dakota Gun Owners issues an alert about an anti-gun politician--one reportedly with an A+ rating from NRA. Links are there to find out more.
Links to the most current offerings from my fellow GREs are also provided.
Please head on over there and share it with your friends. I promised feral sons Uday and Qusay a scrap of goat fat in their gruel if I can earn enough from page views.

It's funny you should mention the Black Panthers. I've been thinking about them a lot recently and have been tempted to write a post about them.
Citizen militias are (at least in theory) defined in the Militia Act of 1792 and protected by the Second Amendment. The extreme fear the Black Panthers produced by marching on the State Capitol is the beginning of California's insane clamor for "gun control".
I don't know about the south, but in California, "gun control" is definitely a racist attempt to control an entire segment of the population strictly on the basis of skin color. It was in the beginning, and it still is today.
"Gun control" is a hot topic in California because the rich white minority that runs the State is deeply convinced in their own minds that blacks and hispanics are primitive, barbaric people who cannot be trusted with firearms.
No one has ever proven that secret deals between the local organized crime syndicate and key politicians was the driving force behind the rapid expansion of heroin distribution in Oakland right after the March on Sacremento. However, myself, I've long felt that if one day some unexpectedly evidence does come out proving it definitively, I will not be surprised.
Prior to the rapid expansion of heroin sales (blamed on the Black Panthers but never definitively linked to them either!), the Black Panthers had accomplished a lot of good in some of the more crime infested neighborhoods in Oakland. No one ever remembers that aspect of them. Most historians are far too fascinated with the March on the Capitol, too busy digging for facts behind the accusations of drug dealing, and too happily busy retelling every tiny detail of the final shootout, to bother themselves with questioning the status quo.
I'm with you. I think we need to bring them back, without the drugs. I said as much in the comments section of Mr. Gray's op-ed piece on bringing back the AWB as an answer to us "gun nuts".
My state's black caucus legislators often object to police-empowering laws as "racist." Mandatory seatbelts or you get stopped, ticketed and maybe searched, mandatory showing of ID to police on demand for no reason, discretion to arrest for a nonviolent misdemeanor rather than issue a ticket, mandatory this and that, they say, gives the authorities more authority to harass blacks.
They don't get it. Equality is HERE. Skin color doesn't matter in that way, at least, any more. It's ONLY ONES against Other Ones.
Cetainly government policies created and exacerbated social stratification and crime, but Eric Holder LOVES those same policies and wants more of them. He just wants payback for blacks being on the bottom fo 250 years, a little side benefit of a socialist disarmed America. And that is how socialism/communism seduces people: by empowering their own smaller power hunger.
