420. Gun Control was a construct of the KKK to disarm blacks in the south
The gun control laws were ignored when it came to whites, but vigorously enforced among the black populations. This let the KKK and other hate mongers prey upon whole populations without fear of reprisal.

It allowed racist southern "law men" to accost whole communities at will, back by the power of their firearms, against a defenseless population.

In the 1960's Ronald Regan acted upon that evil tradition when he passed the modern firearms "control" acts as California Governor to disarm the Black Panthers specifically and other 'leftist' radicals. These disarmed populations were again easy prey for the police and the rest of the community.

I refuse to support any legislation that follows in this tradition by denying free men and women the right to possess the arms they feel necessary to defend their lives and property.

I'm a Democrat. I'm a gun owner. You'll have my guns when you pry them from my cold dead fingers.

I will never be a victim.
