Coulter nails it once again... and draws the inevitable conclusions that the media point to, but dare not name, themselves.
A pretty good summary, too, of the history of "gun control", which started with efforts to deprive black people and other minorities of their right to keep and bear arms.
Even back then, "Gun Control" was not about guns. It was about control.
Liberals have leapt on the shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Florida to push for the repeal of "stand your ground" laws and to demand tighter gun control. (MSNBC'S Karen Finney blamed "the same people who stymied gun regulation at every point.")
We don't know the facts yet, but let's assume the conclusion MSNBC is leaping to is accurate: George Zimmerman stalked a small black child and murdered him in cold blood, just because he was black. If that were true, every black person in America should get a gun and join the National Rifle Association, America's oldest and most august civil rights organization.
(snip)
Gun control laws were originally promulgated by Democrats to keep guns out of the hands of blacks. This allowed the Democratic policy of slavery to proceed with fewer bumps and, after the Civil War, allowed the Democratic Ku Klux Klan to menace and murder black Americans with little resistance.
(Contrary to what illiterates believe, the KKK was an outgrowth of the Democratic Party, with overlapping membership rolls. The Klan was to the Democrats what the American Civil Liberties Union is today: Not every Democrat is an ACLU'er, but every ACLU'er is a Democrat. Same with the Klan.)
(snip)
In 1640, the very first gun control law ever enacted on these shores was passed in Virginia. It provided that blacks -- even freemen -- could not own guns.
Chief Justice Roger Taney's infamous opinion in Dred Scott v. Sandford circularly argued that blacks could not be citizens because if they were citizens, they would have the right to own guns: "[i]t would give them the full liberty," he said, "to keep and carry arms wherever they went."

Many a big-gov't, nannyist initiative had its roots in racism. Gun control started as a drive to keep guns from blacks. The war on drugs started due to progressives' fear of being attacked by coked-up blacks. Gov't intrusion into marriage was in part to stop micegenation. Also the war on prostitution, which began under progressive Dem Wilson due to the fear of 'white slavery.' (one of the first prosecutions was of boxer Jack Johnson, bc he had a white GF.
And yet blacks now vote 90+ pct for progressive democrats....go figure.

What do you mean, "GO FIGURE"? It aint hard to figure at all. All those terrible southern democrats of the past are now all GOPers. Not everyone is stupid you know?
When I first saw the title of this thread I automatically thought it was going to be full of ignorant opinions. Especially being by Ann Coulter, one of the biggest dingbats of the last 15 years. But to my surprise she is not spewing lies as usual. It’s obvious that white racist didn’t want black people having guns. But one thing is clear the reasons for gun control then isn’t the same as today.
