Is Gun Control Racist?

I'm looking into handling lower cost {cheap} pistols because I think the lower end of the market is about to explode. So I started looking at different companies and their history. What I found was the democrats started gun control as a race issue to prevent the Negro from owning guns.

"The earliest law prohibiting inexpensive handguns was enacted in Tennessee, in the form of the "Army and Navy Law", passed in 1879, shortly after the 14th amendmentand Civil Rights Act of 1875; previous laws invalidated by the constitutional amendment had stated that black freedmen could not own or carry any manner of firearm. The Army and Navy Law prohibited the sale of "belt or pocket pistols, or revolvers, or any other kind of pistols, except army or navy pistols", which were prohibitively expensive for black freedmen and poor whites to purchase.[13] These were large pistols in .36 caliber ("navy") or .44 caliber ("army"), and were the military issue cap and ball black-powder revolvers used during the Civil War by both Union and Confederate ground troops. The effect of the law was to restrict handgun possession to the upper economic classes.[14]"

In the late 50s and early 60s negros started to import and manufacture their own guns so along comes the famous gun control act of 1968.

"The next major attempt to regulate inexpensive firearms was the Gun Control Act of 1968, which used the "sporting purposes" test and a points system to exclude many small, inexpensive handguns which had been imported from European makers such asRöhm. The act also had the effect of banning the import of high quality pocket pistols such as the Browning 1910 and the Walther PPK, which were very popular among police officers as backup guns, since police use was not a "sporting purpose" and the backup guns failed the points system on basis of size.[citation needed]"

That law was designed and intended to keep cheaper firearms out of the hands of negros and poor whites. Democrats argued that cheap guns meant higher crime.

"Legal definition of a "junk gun" usually restricts the materials that can be used in the manufacture of the gun, targeting zinc castings, low melting points (usually 800 degrees Fahrenheit), powder metallurgy, and other low-cost manufacturing techniques. As nearly all guns made this way are chambered for low-pressure cartridges, such as .22 Long Rifle and .25 ACP, these techniques provide sufficient strength and desirable weight and cost savings. The low-strength materials and cheap construction result in poor durability and marginal accuracy at longer ranges, but as most of these guns are designed for use in self-defense, accuracy and durability are not primary design goals. Most guns targeted by the "junk gun" bans are made by a group of current or former manufacturers in the Los Angeles area, such as Bryco Arms, Jimenez Arms, Jennings Firearms, Raven Arms, and Phoenix Arms, collectively known as the "Ring of Fire".[24]"

Liberals of the time went so far as to say Gun control was NOT about controlling guns but controlling negros.

"In his book Restricting Handguns: The Liberal Skeptics Speak Out, civil rights attorney and gun scholar Don Kates found racial overtones in the focus on the Saturday night special.[22] Gun control advocate Robert Sherrill said: "The Gun Control Act of 1968 was passed not to control guns but to control blacks."[23]"

The NAACP went so far as to sue AGAINST the law preventing lower class negros from being able to buy guns to fit their economics.

"In 2003, the NAACP filed suit against 45 gun manufacturers for creating what it called a "public nuisance" through the "negligent marketing" of handguns, which included models commonly described as Saturday night specials. The suit alleged that handgun manufacturers and distributors were guilty of marketing guns in a way that encouraged violence in black and Hispanic neighborhoods.[6] The suit was dismissed by US District Judge Jack B. Weinstein, who ruled that members of the NAACP were not "uniquely harmed" by illegal use of firearms and therefore had no standing to sue.[7]"

But they lost and for all the wrong reasons. The "Saturday Night Special" was used LESS than 3% of the time in crimes. So in fact liberals had directly LIED about its purchase and use by negros.

Weinstein, who ruled that members of the NAACP were not "uniquely harmed" by illegal use of firearms and therefore had no standing to sue.[7]"

In 2001 Roy Innis a negro and the NRA teamed up to help bring protection to the poorer whites AND negros via cheaper hand guns.

"Because the price of a firearm can determine who is able to buy it, the elimination of inexpensive firearms could have a direct effect upon those of lesser means. Roy Innis, president of the activist group Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) and a member of theNational Rifle Association's governing board.,[8][9] said "To make inexpensive guns impossible to get is to say that you're putting a money test on getting a gun. It's racism in its worst form." (CORE filed as an amicus curiae in a 1985 suit challenging Maryland's Saturday night special/low-caliber handgun ban.[10]) The Wright and Rossi evaluation of the National Institute of Justice study (p. 238) concluded: "The people most likely to be deterred from acquiring a handgun by exceptionally high prices or by the nonavailability of certain kinds of handguns are not felons intent on arming themselves for criminal purposes (who can, if all else fails, steal the handgun they want), but rather poor people who have decided they need a gun to protect themselves against the felons but who find that the cheapest gun in the market costs more than they can afford to pay."[10] CORE filed a brief in the 2001 United States v. Emerson case stating that the term "saturday night special" refers to "******-town saturday night".[2]

RE-read that last sentence if you would. Those are NOT my words but words of democrats at the time. I am going to buy in to the low end market because I do feel its going to grow. But I had no idea just how deep the racist democrats had gone to swindle, bankrupt and deny rights to citizens.

The point is that gun control has never been about guns; it has been about allowing some people to have control over others.

Very few truly argue for a complete ban on guns. At the very least, most acknowledge the need for government to have guns; without them, it would be impossible to enforce such a ban against anyone else.

And anyone with better than a room-temperature IQ clearly understands that regardless of what the law says, criminals, and terrorists will be able to obtain guns, which they will use against the law-abiding.

So really, gun control is about who has guns, and therefore, who has power and control over those who do not have guns. And it is unalterably the honest, law-abiding citizens who come out at the bottom of any such policy, being the ones who will be rendered unarmed and helpless.

It beaks down I think into a rich vs poor.
 
Of course, it has always been about the substantial people exerting control over the unsubstantial people, still is. Via the political, legal, and ecnomic systems. And you do not begin to alter that by voting.
