A diabolical motive behind the left's hysteria for totalitarian control: The Racism of Gun Control

Gun control in America has a sick pedigree of not so hidden racism. It was enacted in Tammany Hall Era New York City as the Sullivan Act to keep guns out the hands of Italians, Jews, Spanish and Blacks. 
It has evolved into Citizen Control and a form of Class War. Gun control proposals and laws derive from the well protected left, who hypocritically want the general population unable to defend themselves. More diabolical is the racial motivation behind control. It has emerged as a dual form of political propaganda that pits blacks and whites in fear of each other. Blacks are told to fear armed white racists and whites are told that guns need to be controlled to stop black gangs and black gun related crimes. All are told it is save the children. These flawed propositions leave the most vulnerable citizens as the most unprotected. Even if gun legislation isn't passed, the anti-gun press and rhetoric works on the beliefs of the people will then feel they are not able to and feel they should never be able to protect themselves. It has worked on their minds. Gun Control has a severely sinister side. m/r

The Racism of Gun Control

By Matthew Vadum On March 4, 2013
Black conservative leaders warn that new gun control proposals threaten Americans’ most fundamental civil rights.
Star Parker, founder and president of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE), recalled the racist pedigree of gun control laws and the grave dangers they create, not just for blacks, but for all Americans.
“I believe that it is our duty to stand together and challenge the proposals currently on the table in the Senate, which invoke painful memories of Jim Crow laws and black codes,” said Parker.
“Black history is rife with government demands for background checks in order to qualify for constitutional rights,” she said at a Washington, D.C. press conference. “All Americans should be concerned.”
The effort to stem further gun control measures comes as left-wing legislators lead a crackdown on the Second Amendment.
U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), author of the now-expired 1994 assault weapons ban, has introduced proposed legislation banning 157 specific weapons, magazines capable of holding more than 10 cartridges, and other weapons with features such as a folding stock, pistol grip, or detachable magazines. The Senate Judiciary Committee began considering four gun control bills last week. Chairman Pat Leahy (D-Vt.) said the committee will continue voting on the measures this week.
Second Amendment supporters recently rallied across the country at the “Day of Resistance,” a series of protests against the 23 constitutionally dubious executive actions on gun control that President Obama issued in January.
The protests took place after Democrat Joe Salazar, a Colorado state representative, said college women are trigger-happy and can’t be trusted with guns because they’re not smart enough to know when they’re about to be raped.
CURE, which describes itself as the largest black conservative think tank in the nation, argues that legislation pending in the U.S. Senate will limit citizens’ ability to defend themselves, their property, and their families. They also worry that the proposed measures place too much power in the hands of politicians.
