To Justify Gun Control, Blue State Attorneys Cite ‘Bigoted’ Old Laws Disarming Blacks, Catholics And Native Americans
Attorneys involved in legal battles across the country are turning to outdated, racist gun laws as a means to justify gun control regulation.

- Attorneys that support gun control for law-abiding citizens are resorting to outdated, racist gun laws to satisfy new firearm law requirements laid out in the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen case in June.
- The referenced laws are from the 1700s and 1800s and were used to restrict slaves, free black people, Native Americans and Catholics from owning firearms, with attorneys saying the laws show a “historical tradition” of restricting firearms that aligns with the Supreme Court’s decision.
- “Anti-gun lawyers are openly citing racists and bigoted laws dating from the colonial era to the Jim Crow south to support their modern gun control agenda. Whether it was ‘papists’ or Native Americans in the early days of our nation, or freed slaves following the Civil War, it was all wrong, and solely meant to disarm people based on their color or creed, which is a direct violation of our Second Amendment,” GOA Senior Vice President Erich Pratt told the DCNF.
The attorneys are referencing numerous laws from the 1700s and 1800s that were used to restrict slaves, free black people, Native Americans and Catholics from owning firearms, saying the laws show a “historical tradition” of restricting firearms which aligns with the Supreme Court’s decision in the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen case, according to The Wall Street Journal. New York first referenced outdated, racist laws after the Bruen decision to defend its updated concealed carry law, opting to reference colonial era laws that were once used to restrict Native American tribes from acquiring firearms, according to court filings.
“The reason that anti-gun rights Democrat attorneys are using old discredited racist gun laws from the past to provide historical tradition for current gun laws in light of the Bruen decision is because they have no valid arguments to make. This is a losing argument that makes them look like they support racist laws staying on the books,” Second Amendment Foundation Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Commentary:
Democrats have and never will change. Now they're using historical fact and laws they used to prevent Blacks, Native Americans and Catholics from exercising their Second Amendment Rights in the past as justification and excuse to prevent American citizens from exercising their Second Amendment Rights today.
But this time it's OK because they will infringe on everyone's right to keep and bear arms. Maoist-Racist pricks!
Castle Doctrine and other self defense laws have roots in the push back against Jim Crow laws. Yet today's “Black leaders” line up to help the Maoist Democrat Progressives destroy all the advances made to secure and protect American families.
Maoist/DSA Democrats want an unarmed populace the easier to control us with tyranny the antitheses of the Second Amendment meant for the populace to protect itself from a tyrannical government period. Witout te pfrotection we are at their mercy.
