Disarmament

A lot of people on the left are calling for the US to enact strict gun control laws in the aftermath of the terrible shooting at a Florida school. They should ponder some of these photographs.

The history of the US suggests that gun control would be a bad idea for the country's most marginalised groups.

Historically, African Americans have armed themselves for protection against lynchings, racist cops, and pogroms. America's first gun control laws were enacted in the nineteenth century to try to stop freed slaves from acquiring arms. For decades blacks in the south struggled for the right to bear guns, knowing that a rifle was the best defence against the ropes of lynch mobs and the burning crosses of the KKK. The Black Panthers are famous for patrolling American cities with guns, but even the pacifist Martin Luther King kept a huge arsenal of weapons for self-defence.

Not only the civil rights but the trade union movement was built with guns. Early America labor leaders carried guns wherever they went, and coal miners and railway workers fought pitched battles with police and soldiers, as well as armed strikebreakers hired by bosses.
Today African Americans have begun to form armed self-defence squads to defend their neighbourhoods from both out of control cops and criminals. In Dallas, for example, the Huey P Newton Gun Club, named after a famous Black Panther leader, patrols inner city streets. If a ban on assault rifles were enacted, groups like this could be criminalised, just as armed black civil rights groups were once criminalised in the southern states.

American cops will always be heavily armed; so will rednecks and criminals. Gun laws will disarm only vulnerable groups like African Americans. Is it really safe, in Trump's America, for the left to give the state, criminals, and white racists a monopoly on arms? The American left needs to arm, not disarm itself. The Huey P Newton Gun Club should be made into a model, not a target for the state.

This is nonsense Scott all those days are well past. The world is fucked for sure now. But it would help if gun control was as it is in NZ. In fact it should be stricter than it is with very strong vigilance. Only the military and police in special circumstances should be allowed guns, and some hunters licensed by and working for the Government. There is no need in the US now for the kind of defense. It is a madness.

The main victims of gun killing in the US are poor or unemployed blacks shooting each other. And a lot of them are crims...that is the ones who are shot. England and other countries have lower deaths by shooting.

There are also the white psychos and ISIS madmen with trucks but that is for the FBI and the police to deal with and of course in the long run, as to these increasing teenage killings as well as very strict gun control the issue of mental health etc needs to be looked at.

Gun control, very strict, should be the first step.

perkenalkan nama saya Sahra. saya berasal dari kota Reog Ponorogo saya pernah bekerja sebagai seorang karyawan di salah satu restaurant di dubai. dimana saya sudah hampir kurang lebih 5 tahun lamanya saya bekerja di restaurant tersebut.

Keinginan saya dan impian saya yang paling tinggi adalah ingin mempunyai usaha sendiri di kampung, namun jika hanya mengandalkan gaji yah mungkin butuh waktu yang sangat lama dimana belum biaya kontrakan dan utan yang menumpuk justru akan semakin sulit dan semakin lama impian itu tidak akan terwujud

saya coba" buka internet dan saya lihat postingan teman di https://pesugihanputihislamia.blogspot.com. Saya buka di google dan disitulah awal kesuksesan saya sampai sekarang alhamdulillah ya allah...

jika anda ingin mendapat jalan yang mudah untuk mendapat kesuksesan seperti saya anda tak perlu ragu. atau malu dikejar hutang lagi, Tergantung keyakinan dan kepercayaan saja. Banyak pilihan di berikan yaitu Dana Hibah, penglaris usaha dagan, dana gaib, anka gaib togel, jampi pelet, dll

I feel so blessed and fulfilled. I've been reluctant in applying for a loan i heard about online because everything seems too good to be true, but i was convinced & shocked when my friend at my place of work got a loan from Progresive Loan INC. & we both confirmed it and i also went ahead to apply, today am a proud owner of my company and making money for my family and a happy mom. Well i'm Annie Joe by name from Pauls Valley, Oklahoma. As a single mom with three kids it was hard to get a job that could take care of me and my kids and I had so much bills to pay and to make it worst I had bad credit so i couldn't obtain a loan from any bank. I had an ideal to start a business as an hair stylist but had no capital to start, Tried all type of banks but didn't work out until I was referred by my co-worker to a godsent lender advertising to give a loan at 2% interest rate. I sent them a mail using their official email address (progresiveloan@yahoo.com) and I got a reply immediately and my loan was approved, and I was directed to the Bank site where I withdrawed my loan directly to my account. To cut the story short am proud of my hair stylist company and promise to testify to the world how my life was transformed.. If you are in need of any kind of loan, i advise you contact Progresive Loan INC and be financially lifted Email: progresiveloan@yahoo.com OR Call/Text +1(603) 786-7565
