Does anyone feel that gun control is an act of racism?
Just curious to see if anyone else thinks what I'm thinking.

I realize the people who live in poor neighborhoods have far less police protection; removing guns from them increases their risk of vicimization. However, there are poor of all races; so I don't see the racism connection.
Gun Control? my signature covers my view....[:D]
Gun Control = FIRM GRIP!
Gun Control as practiced by the corrupt slobs in Congress is STILL somewhat Racist..because by driving up the costs involved in buying a gun..it makes it much more difficult for a poor person to afford one..and Minorities make up a disportunate share of the poor...
However,the direction gun control has taken since 1968 has increasingly been less about 'controlling crime'..and MUCH more about making the world safe for the Elite...

How about that? From 1915 - 1980, millions were murdered by their own governments.
Ok, I have one more for you.
Post Civil War laws passed by many states targeting inexpensive firearms, which at that time was the most many blacks could afford. At later time, these DEMONKRATS admitted it was to keep guns out of black peoples' hands. Result: nearly 4,000 defenseless blacks lynched and killed by Klansmen and their ilk before these laws were removed from the books.
And it isn't just racist, either.... it's sexist, and elitist, too.
And I won't support things of this nature.

Those who would offer any interpretation that would relegate Amendment II to "relic" status of a bygone era are blatantly stating that the remainder of the Bill of Rights isn't worth a damn, either.
