Federal Bureau of Investigation statistics show that in states with more gun control, Blacks are hindered from defending their lives, while Whites are not.
After extracting civilian justifiable homicide data from the FBI Supplement Homicide reports for 2000-2007, there are clear inequities between Blacks and Whites in states which restrict the right of self-defense by not granting concealed carry permits to law-abiding citizens. Conversely, in right-to-carry (RTC) states–where law-abiding civilians carry concealed handguns in public–Blacks experienced above-average rates of justifiable homicide.

I remember liberal Rep. Howard Orenstein in 1989 telling me that he didn't want to ban "my" HK91 but he was afraid of "those people" getting assault weapons. I don't think he ever realized what he had just said. But I did. I heard it and I knew because when I worked as a community organizer in North Carolina in 1967 I was one of "those people" and the bed sheet boys didn't stop their killing 'cus you was white.

Yup. The historical connection of racism and gun control is one of those stories that most folks haven't heard.

Do we get to call the gun grabber racist?

Am I remembering correctly that gun control was started in the south after the civil war as a means to keep blacks from owning guns?

Thanks, Kimberman, for that article. It brings an angle onto and the issue that doesn't get brought up much.
