Yet another reason to despise gun control!
Most people do not realize that the modern fabrications passed as gun control in America actually started back in the 1800's. At that time, it was illegal for Blacks to own weapons.
Yes, modern gun control started as a racist attempt to keep Blacks "down." Don't believe me? Read about the Supreme court decision on Dred Scott vs. Sanford. That decision disallowed Blacks from any sort of constitutionally protected rights, including the right to keep and bear arms.
After the American Civil War, the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments were passed (by Republicans!) to guarantee rights to all persons, regardless of race.
You see, during that time, there were many laws that were against Blacks. I personally feel a law should apply to all, not just a "select" group. Some of those anti-black laws prohibited weapons.
Here is an excellent article on the racist roots of gun control. It is no stretch to suggest that those who would enact similar controls today are every bit as biased.
