Gun Control Is Quintessentially Anti-American And Racist

 "It is reported that in some parts of this State (South Carolina and throughout the South), armed parties are, without proper authority, engaged in seizing all fire-arms found in the hands of the freedmen. Such conduct is in clear and direct violation of their personal rights as guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States, which declares that 'the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.'"

- Union General Rufus Saxton reporting to the U.S.Congress, 1870

 

"It’s racist and it’s bigoted to say that guns are quintessentially American. We live on the coast and we have a right to define the America we want to live in."

- Alan Dershowitz

What IS racist is a rich, white, liberal law professor at Harvard telling a 76 year-old, African-American veteran and retired maintenance engineer, who was once a sharecropper in the South, who has been living in the same house in the Morgan Park neighbourhood in Chicago that he had purchased in 1971 where he and other working-class African-Americans carved out their little piece of the American Dream only to watch it deteriorate dramatically and become riddled with crime, that the "coasts" should decide whether he should get to have a Second Amendment right to bear arms to defend himself against the criminals that have continued to break into his home.

What IS racist is Alan Dershowitz telling Otis McDonald that he knows what is better for him while living in an Ivy League Tower.

"Like the millions of law abiding gun owners in America, I am a peace loving person. I OWN FIREARMS SO THAT I CAN DEFEND MYSELF AND MY FAMILY, SHOULD THAT NEED ARISE. While I sincerely hope that I am never in the position of having to fire a gun in self defense, I rest easier at night knowing that I could stop an armed robber, racist attacker, terrorist, or home invader if the need arose. I also rest easier knowing that my wife could stop a rapist or murderer, rather than becoming a victim. THE SIMPLE FACT IS THAT GUN CONTROL LAWS DON’T STOP CRIMINALS FROM GETTING GUNS, AND INSTEAD ONLY DISARM THE LAW ABIDING CITIZENS, MAKING THEM EASIER TARGETS FOR THE CRIMINALS. Nor is it justifiable to deprive law abiding citizens of their constitutional right to keep and bear arms for self defense, just because criminals misuse guns, just as criminals misuse other tools...GIVEN THOSE FACTS, I WOULD ENCOURAGE MY FELLOW LAW ABIDING CITIZENS WHO DO NOT YET OWN A GUN TO DO THE FOLLOWING: GO SHOOTING FOR THE FIRST TIME, CHOOSE THE PROPER GUN FOR SELF DEFENSE, PURCHASE THAT GUN, STORE THE GUN IN A RESPONSIBLE MANNER, AND BECOME PROFICIENT AT SAFELY USING THAT GUN. NEXT, JOIN THE NRA TO PROTECT YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE A GUN FOR SELF DEFENSE. DOING SO MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE ONE DAY, AND CAN ALSO BENEFIT SOCIETY AS A WHOLE."

- Otis McDonald, former sharecropper, veteran, retired maintenance engineer, patriot, plaintiff in the landmark case Chicago v McDonald...and an African-American

Just so that you are aware, your government — in the form of Barack Obama, Dianne Feinstein, and Joe Biden — is contemplating a sort of “stamp tax” for gun ownership, ie, you’d have to pay $200 per gun, perhaps, per year. This fee could go much higher. Or, it could take the form of a 1 million liability policy, which would run you $1,600-2,000, but cars cause more deaths and they do not have to carry such high policies. Anyhoo...

Before you say, “Yeah!,” just remember what your “Soak the rich!” rhetoric got you in January.

That’s right! Your taxes went up and your paycheque will take a bigger hit than those in the $200,000 to $500,000 bracket. So, what would a, sort of, stamp tax on guns mean for you?

Only those that could afford it would be able to own guns. And, unless you wanted to join the ranks of other criminals, everyone else would be at the mercy of the government and remember that the police, for example, do not have a duty to come to your aid and assistance, under Supreme Court precedent.

So, the very people that claim to be the voice of minorities, women, the workers, and the middle class are the very same people, who would disarm them leaving them at the mercy of the "evil rich" and those, for whom gun control laws mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Yep, that's you, Mr & Ms Gun-Grabber. "Screwed, Again!"...rocketing up the charts at Big Hit #2...with a bullet...in your first week of release. Congrats!

Whenever will you stop begging the government to take away your rights?
