    My grandma carried an illegal handgun in Philly after my grandpa died. Gun control didn't stop a man from trying to rob her at knife point but it would have gotten her stabbed to death had she obeyed it. My grandmother may have died a "criminal" but she didn't die THAT day.

    Yes, the first gun laws in America were primarily aimed at restricting the rights of Foundational Black Americans, particularly freedmen and enslaved people. These early gun control measures were part of a broader effort to maintain control over the Black population, especially after the abolition of slavery.
    During slavery, many states in the South had laws that prohibited enslaved Africans from owning or carrying firearms, fearing slave uprisings. After the Civil War and during Reconstruction, these restrictions were extended to newly freed Black people through what are known as Black Codes.
    The Black Codes were laws passed by Southern states in the late 1860s designed to restrict the freedoms of Black people and maintain a racial hierarchy. One key feature of these codes was the prohibition of firearm ownership by Black people. For example:
    Mississippi's Black Codes (1865) stated that no freedman "shall keep or carry firearms of any kind, or any ammunition."
    Louisiana passed laws forbidding Black people from owning firearms without special permission from local authorities.
    The intent behind these laws was to ensure that Black people could not defend themselves against white supremacist violence or organize politically. This legal disarmament left Black communities vulnerable, especially as groups like the Ku Klux Klan used violence and intimidation to suppress their civil rights.
    However, the passage of the 14th Amendment and Civil Rights Act of 1866 sought to protect the rights of freedmen, including the right to bear arms. Despite these protections, local and state authorities often found ways to circumvent federal law.
    The debate over gun control and race has deep historical roots, with efforts to disarm Black people continuing in various forms throughout history, up to the present day. Understanding the origins of gun control in the U.S. reveals its often racially targeted intentions.

    Maj, l was a history major in college back in the last century, and what you said about the suppressing of Black Americans from owning and bearing firearms is absolutely true. Except for the too short period of Reconstruction after the Civil War, when Union troops were available in some measure to protect the former slaves, almost all states enforced a program of disarmament. The ongoing racism emanates from the "educated" left now. Of course there are and will be pockets of White racism, but l have lived through the Jesus Movement of the 60's (yes, l am that old), and l watched as a broad swath of the old South growing bumber crops of Christians (myself becoming one as well). I went through portions of Georgia, Alabama, and Florida in the 90's, not too far off from the desegregation battles of the 60's, and saw Black Americans in law enforcement uniforms patrolling the streets. Maybe it's not a coincidence that some of the freest places in America for Black ownership of firearms are in these Bible belt states. Anyway, l appreciate your efforts to continue the fight for the 2nd Amendment, which is the bulwark against tyranny for all...all, Americans. Keep up the good work.

But today those same laws are used against all poor people. I grew up poor, it took me a long time to save up the money to finally be able to purchase the right to be able to own and carry a gun. It was around $500 for the classes, paperwork, and fees.

    It is NEVER in the NRA’s interest to back gun control laws. And, they almost never have. ALMOST. The only time they ever backed a gun control law was when it was pushed by the governor of CA (who became the first president to admit he promoted illegal drugs sales in black-heavy US cities) in the 1960’s. Look up the Mulford act. Prior to that act, citizens could open carry in California. Once blacks began to use that right, the law changed and you had to have a license. Yes, the system does now and has always, worked precisely as it was designed. The outcomes are predetermined.
