Subject: Anti-gun lawsuits: racist, classist!

Now the Feds are joining the mayors in the attack against gun makers.

What’s this bias against the projects?

They’re saying that poor people need special coddling.

And since this is inner city violence we’re talking about, the govt

and cities are in the final analysis saying that POOR BLACK PEOPLE

CAN’T HANDLE GUNS and shouldn’t own them. Trying to reduce

guns in certain AREAS and frigging INCOME groups is blatant

racism and classism!

The problem is that the good majority of poor people are the ones

who truly have no voice.

****

The very first anti-gun laws were directed

against poor black people. First there were Jim Crow registration

laws which prevented blacks from owning guns, if I recall right.

Then came ‘The Saturday Night Special’ laws. –There were common

derogatory terms used in this description, which were taken out of the

title to make a ‘decent’-sounding ‘generic’ law name, but really

it was racist in purpose.

SNS’s were cheap guns that poor downtown blacks who needed them

could afford. These were taken from them by racist legislators,

leaving them defenseless or forcing them into shopping from the

black market. Even today it’s hardest to get concealed

permits for the people who need them the most: poor people

just trying to get ahead in crime-filled urban areas, getting

attacked by thugs who are often armed, and who if they aren’t

are stronger anyway.

But, no, they have the Caretakers watching over them.

Keeping sharp implements away from them because they

can’t be trusted to take care of themselves.

Just think of all the trouble over the years that the Caretakers have

caused the decent hardworking poorfolk of this land: penalizing

them for staying married, helping loser neighbors get ahead at

their expense, letting the crooks of the hood out of jail early or on

technicalities, cops being too busy to protect them as they play

all day at social work for the losers.

And as for another early gun control law, the 1968 ban on mail ordering guns in

response to the killing of JFK, had no effect other than to put a great American company

out of business (Herters). There were no significant problems resulting from mail order guns

before this. It was a totally invented problem. But it created a huge one in response: it greatly

boosted the role of gun trafficking in organized crime.
