Gun Control Is Racist |
http://armsandthelaw.com/archives/2007/11/study_of_racist.php
Very interesting data on the 1906 Atlanta race riots, where mobs attacked
black neighborhoods, the residents fought back (in an early form of straw
man sales, light skinned residents bought guns for their neighbors), and
police and the state militia responded with house to house searches for
guns. The Atlanta Journal ran an editorial entitled "Disarm the Negroes,"
endorsing the searches with comments such as "Should a collision between
the races occur, it would be too late to deplore the fact that the negroes
had been permitted to arm themselves." The study also probes why GA law
bans carrying at public assemblies, and notes the law was enacted after
night riders attacked blacks who were travelling to a ... public assembly,
and they fought back.

So you're saying that 101 year old Jim Crow laws
prove everything you want to believe about modern
laws?
I hate to say, but that's how creationists argue. They
frequently cite Haeckel's 100-plus year old chart as
"Proof" that evolution is all wrong.
Which is weird, because Haeckel was a doctor by
training, so their argument applies (at least) as
much towards modern medicine as it does evolution...
...just as your rant applies to pretty much all of
our laws, and not just gun laws. After all, nobody --
not even you -- could be retarded enough to pretend
that Jim Crow was enacted only in the form of gun
laws. So the ultimate conclusion to your rant is that
all laws are bad, because there isn't any aspect of
the law in which Jim Crow hadn't crept into.
Then again, you're a fucking idiot so it's not like you
could grasp any of this....
