Gun Control Is Racist

Liberals like to attribute everything to racism, so maybe we can do the same thing. The difference is, we have facts to back up our contentions. Back when the slaves were freed, Congress made laws to keep "freedmen" from being able to legally own guns, so they'd still be defenseless against white men. A Republican Congress scotched that by making laws allowing them to be armed for self defense (thereby making a LIE out of the Dumocrat contention that Republicans are automatically racist, just by being Republicans). In several states, they got around that by making guns the freedmen could afford unavailable to them while white men already had their guns, having kept them from the war. In S. Carolina, a black man caught with an illegal gun would end up on a chain gang, while a white man so found would get a small fine and a sore wrist for a couple of days. Other laws were made to specifically deny blacks the ability to have and use guns, and it was understood (though not spelled out in the laws) that those laws did not apply to whites. And such things continue to this day. (Keep and Bear)
