Paul has written at least two cogent editorials on the matter which are worth checking out: &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/eric-holder-racist-anti-gun-rant-victimizes-minorities-editorial\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gun-controls-racist-history\" title=\"Gun Control's Racist History\">Eric Holder Racist Anti-Gun Rant Victimizes Minorities<\/a>,&#8221; and &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/problem-black-people-inner-city-gun-violence-obama-bloomberg-china\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gun-controls-racist-history\" title=\"Gun Control's Racist History\">The Problem is Black People? \u2013 Inner City Gun Violence, Obama, Bloomberg &amp; China<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What one quickly realizes is that gun control has always disproportionately\u00a0affected poor and working-class people, but particularly blacks.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sedgwickcounty.org\/media\/29093\/the-racist-origins-of-us-gun-control.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gun-controls-racist-history\" title=\"Gun Control's Racist History\">Many laws following slavery were crafted<\/a> with the sole intent to deny blacks their right to keep and bear arms.\u00a0 That <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/the-war-against-cheap-guns-fun-guns-and-nfa-items\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gun-controls-racist-history\" title=\"Gun Control's Racist History\">tradition has continued over the years<\/a> with laws targeting inexpensive firearms, e.g. &#8220;Saturday Night Specials&#8221; and the adoption of may-issue concealed carry standards that give\u00a0law enforcement the capacity to arbitrarily prevent &#8220;certain people&#8221; from bearing arms.<\/p>\n<p>Today it&#8217;s not postbellum racists leading the charge to suppress blacks from owning guns but anti-gunners.\u00a0 What they don&#8217;t understand, or maybe they secretly do, is that disarming America only creates more victims.\u00a0 And since black people are the ones most frequently victimized by bad guys with guns, they are in essence creating more black victims.<\/p>\n<p>As Paul notes in his editorials, instead of disarming law-abiding\u00a0blacks they ought to be empowering them to learn how to defend themselves, their families and their communities.\u00a0 Shift the paradigm from a community of victimhood to one of an elevated level of personal responsibility and self-sufficiency.\u00a0 The truth is that the venerable black leaders of the &#8217;60s like MLK and Rosa Parks always preached that latter approach (<a href=\"https:\/\/reason.com\/blog\/2016\/06\/14\/reminder-guns-helped-secure-the-freedom\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gun-controls-racist-history\" title=\"Gun Control's Racist History\">it&#8217;s why MLK and Parks obtained a gun license<\/a>). It&#8217;s only in recent decades that black leadership, under people like Barack Obama and Eric Holder, has been pushing blacks to sacrifice their rights at the altar of the Nanny State, which works simultaneously to undermine individual liberties and line the pockets of those in power.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, check it out and let us know what you think in the comment section.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t know what started me down the rabbit hole of gun control and racism but I came across this NRA produced video on Youtube.
