Right-wing misconception:Gun laws were implemented to prohibit blacks from defending themselves from the KKK (Reagan, terror)

[knowledgeiskey]

Although this statement bares truth, it's misleading. In fact, gun regulations of blacks were advocated by those who were protected by the 2nd amendment. They wanted protection for themselves by an imaginary threat, but wanted to terrorize a vulnerable population.

I bet the Germans would disagree on the government being an imaginary threat.

The Romans too, and the Bolsheviks and the Mongolians and Cambodians and Rwandians etc. etc. etc.

Furthermore, I'd like to know if "knowledgeiskey" considered the Fed Gov an "imaginary threat" when Bush was in office... or Bush I, or Reagan....

Jeez.... the premise his OP and his username should auto-delete his account.

If you're referring to the Nazi era, Germans weren't any more threatened by their own government than Americans at the time.

They would have told you Hitler was an "imaginary threat", though...

The federal government doesn't want to kill you. In fact, it protects you.
