I know what I'd do if I were just released from bondage and had a gun.I know what I would do to, protect my family from those that wanted to seek retribution because of the actions of the government cost them money. If blacks were the issue at the time, then you wouldn't have seen the formation of the KKK as a white organization, but as a black organization

Quote from: Mr Psychologist on December 11, 2014, 12:14:05 PMWhen you say 'the actions of the government cost them money' do you refer to the whole 'freeing the slaves' thing? or something else?Slave economies are usually the most financially rewarding and moving on from that was really a step backwards for humanity.

The Klan was founded by Confederate veterans. It has nothing to do with blacks being the problem or not. For once, it wasn't economics, it was racism. The Klan murdered freedmen and black and while Republicans because they'd upset the balance of white supremacy.

Thanks for proving my point; if the purpose of gun control was to prevent blacks for committing retributive then that means they were the ones acting people, but that wasn't the case. It was whites doing it and Gun control prevented blacks from protecting themselves

Quote from: Mad Max on December 11, 2014, 11:24:59 AMDo people not consider background checks and registration "gun control"?Can I only support gun rights if I support unregulated access to any and all firearms?No, fuck registration.It is only proposed by anti-gunners so that confiscation will be easier.Not one fucking inch.
