Well, this was an inevitable piece from the Left’s meltdown over the Supreme Court’s ruling on the Second Amendment. New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen was a landmark case that struck down the Empire State’s justifiable need clause in their carry law. It also affirmed that American citizens have the right to carry outside the home for self-defense. It was the worst week ever for liberals as they had to deal with this ruling and the overturning of Roe w. Wade the next day in the Dobbs case. So, how does the Left deal with an expansion of civil rights?

Dems, getting back to their roots. They have always been the real racists, while they throw that up at folks who are not. THIS is one of the biggest things that the KKK was about, making sure that blacks didn't get guns to protect themselves from the KKK.
The NRA has had at least one black director on their board since the 60s. The leader of the Congress of Racial Equality, which was a pretty sane black civil rights organization, was Roy Innis. Mr. Innis was an NRA board member for many decades. The NRA has been supporting gun rights as civil rights for a VERY long time.
The honest, non-violent black folks are the most common victims of the small minority of violent blacks who are causing the majority of the crime in the inner cities. Honest black citizens are like anyone else, and they need to be armed for their own defense. They live in the neighborhoods where these criminals live and therefore are probably more likely than I am to need to defend themselves on any given day.

I have concerns about anyone owning illegal guns . You now risk your life anytime you drive into DC now - especially if you drive an upscale SUV. You run the very real risk of being car jacked by some gun toting teenager who at gun point will force you out of your car to take your car which they barely know how to drive on a short joy ride before they invariably crash. It’s illegal to carry in DC so you are at a disadvantage. I am in favor of the 2d Amendment only for law abiding citizens.

FTA: "white supremacists trashed the U.S. Capitol in the Jan. 6 insurrection"
FTA: "In our polarized political environment, that’s a dangerous scenario"
I wonder if the lie in #1 caused #2. These people are completely oblivious to their own actions.

RE #3. It is incorrect to say "it is illegal to carry in DC". If you are a DC resident, you can get a 'shall issue' objective standards concealed carry permit.
However, the government of DC does not recognize ANY CCW permits from other states, so if that is what you meant, you are correct.
I have decided that I will not travel to places where I cannot be armed. The last time I was in California, I kept an unloaded lever action rifle in the trunk, with ammunition in the passenger compartment, so it was legal in California, but I could take the ammunition to the trunk in an emergency, load the rifle quickly and at least have some possibility of defending myself and my wife. I have decided that this really isn't good enough.
So, I'll be staying out of any states that don't recognize my concealed carry permit. The good news is that this is only a few states, and places that I rarely go to anyway.

believe a check of the statistics supports the rationale for blacks owning more guns - they are the ones
currently on the the short end of the stick.

Joyless Bahar on the view - that there will be new gun laws "once Black people get guns in this country."
D'Rats once again proving they are the real racists.

Even though no justifiable cause need be shown, you still have to go through background checks. Something blacks are reluctant to do. They will continue to opt for illegal possession - technically it is not ownership. That racial disparity is where the problem comes in.

Blacks have the same 2nd Amendment rights as anyone else.

Re #9, they have to go through a background check to purchase the firearm, already.
And here we can use our CCW permit as identification when purchasing a gun, no need to call for a background check, the CCW is taken as proof of a clean background. Not the case in all states.

A new organization, created right after the Civil War, supported the right of blacks to own firearms. The democrats were against blacks owning firearms.
The new organization was the NRA.
