Bloomberg and Shannon Watts are the epitome of limousine liberal privilege.

Some shitbag was on this morning saying the 2nd Amendment was put in to quell slave revolts , so it's racist and needs to be abolished

Sounds like your morning commentator has it 180 degrees off. It is quite the opposite.... many gun RESTRICTIONS trace their roots back to efforts to keep guns out of the hands of freed slaves. Gun control is racist... and misogynistic... and not to mention just plain anti-freedom.

from Watson v. Stone, 4 So.2d 700, 703 (Fla. 1941). https://www.nraila.org/heller/proamicusbriefs/07-290_amicus_gc.pdf

I know something of the history of this legislation. The original Act of 1893 was passed when there was a great influx of negro laborers in this State drawn here for the purpose of working in turpentine and lumber camps. The same condition existed when the Act was amended in 1901 and the Act was passed for the purpose of disarming the negro laborers and to thereby reduce the unlawful homicides that were prevalent in turpentine and saw-mill camps and to give the white citizens in sparsely settled areas a better feeling of security. The statute was never intended to be applied to the white population and in practice has never been so applied.

Did the homicide rate go down in the turpentine and lumber camps when they banned the employees from possessing guns?

There is no data... but it has not gone down anywhere gun control has been attempted.

Pretty much agree with that statement. The fees and training requirements(lack of accessible venues) of MD's 2013 FSA pretty much blocks "underserved communities of color" from legally purchasing a firearm even though those communities are the ones experiencing the most violence and other terrible issues like witness intimidation. It's exactly how the anti gun people want it.

one thing I don't understand is, I know many black folks that own firearms, yet they all consistently vote for the democratic party that is trying to take their right away to have them.

I just don't get it.

Echoing the first post in this thread, there is a
ridiculous claim that "all police agencies started out as slave patrols" so all police are racist .

Of course, modern policing was first organised by Sir Robert Peel in the 19th Century ("Peelers" and "Bobbies.")

Most people are not single issue voters.

It IS unfortunate. OTOH, I AM a single issue voter and have been for years. IMHO, all the other nine original enumerated Rights are dependant on the Second. If you can't defend those rights, evil men will seek to eliminate them.

I would like to see data supporting that.

Many people vote multiple issues, sure. Others vote single issue. To name a few:

Abortion
2A/gun control
Lower taxes
Money for schools

Some people even vote multiple times. From the grave!

Not really the point, but sure. I’m just curious about the “most people” statement. Might be true. I’d just like to see the data.

Unfortunately many African-Americans are...they vote based on race.

Hence the election of Barack Obama and the many career politicians in Baltimore City.

Anyone who can get 95% of the African American population to come out and vote or them in this key demographic will win. It's always enough to tip the election in a candidate's favor.

Most polls ask people to rank issues (economy, healthcare, national security, gun rights,... https://news.gallup.com/poll/1675/most-important-problem.aspx). Few categories get more than 15%. Most often "the economy" gets the most important issue, but as you can see, even that gets 15% in Gallup survey. Guns/gun control gets 1%

When I drive around Baltimore and the state and see sign everywhere that say “Vote Democrat”and nothing else (not candidate name, no issue named), I believe there are a lot of single issue voters. You’re just defining the issues wrong. If the issue is “elect a Democrat” there are a ton of single issue voters. The polls you mention don’t sound like they looked at it that broadly, either. Don’t you see, in this state, THATS the only issue that matters?

When I see the vote Democrat signs, I sometimes think I should make some of my own signs. Like:

Vote Democrat, the Party of Slavery.

Vote Democrat, the Party of the KKK.

Vote For Your Democrat Overlords.

Vote Democrat then Pay Up and Shut Up.

You get my drift?

banning guns is the most white privilege idea ever
