Black Civil Rights Leaders turned Congressmen is joining with racists in the gun control debate.

I'm still spinning that Congressman Lewis would allow himself to be used in the gun control debate.  I'm infuriated that they would sing "we will overcome" while disrupting the House of Representatives.

I respect my elders and I honor the work that he did during the Civil Rights movement but I am offended by the contention that this is part of that (It also irks me that every pet project for liberals is deemed a "civil right"...that is insulting to people that actually suffered).

But the biggest issue is that where once Whites sought to keep weapons out of the hands of Free Blacks, we now have a President and Black Leaders that are attempting it.  Check this out...

Racist arms laws predate the establishment of the United States. Starting in 1751, the French Black Code required Louisiana colonists to stop any blacks, and if necessary, beat "any black carrying any potential weapon, such as a cane." If a black refused to stop on demand, and was on horseback, the colonist was authorized to "shoot to kill." [1] Slave possession of firearms was a necessity at times in a frontier society, yet laws continued to be passed in an attempt to prohibit slaves or free blacks from possessing firearms, except under very restrictively controlled conditions. [2] Similarly, in the sixteenth century the colony of New Spain, terrified of black slave revolts, prohibited all blacks, free and slave, from carrying arms. [3] 

In the Haitian Revolution of the 1790s, the slave population successfully threw off their French masters, but the Revolution degenerated into a race war, aggravating existing fears in the French Louisiana colony, and among whites in the slave states of the United States. When the first U. S. official arrived in New Orleans in 1803 to take charge of this new American possession, the planters sought to have the existing free black militia disarmed, and otherwise exclude "free blacks from positions in which they were required to bear arms," including such non-military functions as slave-catching crews. The New Orleans city government also stopped whites from teaching fencing to free blacks, and then, when free blacks sought to teach fencing, similarly prohibited their efforts as well. [4]

It is not surprising that the first North American English colonies, then the states of the new republic, remained in dread fear of armed blacks, for slave revolts against slave owners often degenerated into less selective forms of racial warfare. The perception that free blacks were sympathetic to the plight of their enslaved brothers, and the dangerous example that "a Negro could be free" also caused the slave states to pass laws designed to disarm all blacks, both slave and free. Unlike the gun control laws passed after the Civil War, these antebellum statutes were for blacks alone. In Maryland, these prohibitions went so far as to prohibit free blacks from owning dogs without a license, and authorizing any white to kill an unlicensed dog owned by a free black, for fear that blacks would use dogs as weapons. Mississippi went further, and prohibited any ownership of a dog by a black person. [5]

Make no mistake about it.  There are some racists that would balk at the idea of me having the armory that I have.  The infuriating thing is that many Black Leaders join in solidarity with them on that issue.

Arms guarantee freedom and safety.  I will not be a victim at the hands of any man.
