Gun Control Began As A Racist Initiative

I never thought of gun control being a racist policy but considering the history of gun law reform dating all the way back to post slavery America, it seems that it is. Following the Civil War, twenty-one lashes was prescribed to any Negro who presumed to carry a weapon whether he/she was a slave or a freed slave. I am not trying to be politically incorrect here but am using the term of the day.) Gun ownership by Blacks was certainly frowned upon.

The actual gun act that allowed the Nazis in 1938 to restrict access to firearms for “certain undesirable members of the population”, was obtained by our own law-makers and used as a pattern, sometimes quoting it directly, to draft the 1968 Gun Control Act. Do you understand what that means? It means that the gun control agenda in this country was fashioned after Nazi policy. How can our legislators seek to enforce gun control over the American citizens with a straight face?

Even before 1968, Supreme Court Justice Buford stated in Florida in 1941 that the Act of 1893 was “passed for the purpose of disarming Negro laborers.” He added “the statue was NEVER intended to be applied to the White population”, basically making it a racist law. Read that sentence again. It was NEVER intended to be enforced in the ways it is being enforced today upon the majority of the American populace.

Even today, it is often believed that the issuing of gun carry permits is not completely balanced and leans toward the preference of Whites over Blacks as owners of handguns.

Gun control in this country, so it seems, has always been a means by which to keep a certain portion of the population in line and in the upcoming years it will be also be used in the same manner. This time it will be a tool of the anti-gun Obama Administration to keep EVERY law-abiding citizen in a place where we will be easy targets of gun-toting criminals and their likely victims because the means by which to defend ones self will be taken from us.

Gun-free zones have proven themselves to be breeding grounds for gun-related crimes because the criminals will be the only ones to have guns except for the police and we all know where they are when the crimes go down – no where to be seen. These zones are supposed to make the average citizen safer when in fact it only identifies areas for the criminal where they can find easy targets. This is proved time and time again, but politicians still don't get it.

Study after study has proved that where citizen have the opportunity to be armed, gun-related crimes go down. When citizens do not have the means of this form of self-defense, crime rates go up. These studies, some even by the government agency Center for Disease Control, tell a different story than the anti-gun politicians spout and these studies are ignored completely in favor of blindly heading down the dangerous course of gun bans.

When considering the real facts about gun owners, the bias against gun ownership makes no sense. What is the real agenda behind such a misuse of power? Is government merely continuing to follow the course set by racist in the past to restrict gun ownership only to expand it to include all members of the population? It is worthy of consideration.
