  • Left tries racism to push gun control

    Apparently the liberals in New York are fighting against concealed-carry laws by appealing to some old, blatantly racist and unconstitutional laws of the past for support.

    Attorney General Letitia James is citing early laws in some states, including New York, that prohibited Native Americans, blacks and Catholics from owning and possessing firearms to justify not allowing people the right to carry a gun in the state after the Supreme Court struck down the state’s similarly subjective “good reason” clause earlier this year in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen.

    This stinks of desperation. For them to resort to such examples of openly racist or bigoted laws as analogs strongly suggests that they realize that they don't have much standing, and to appeal to laws that discriminated against Catholics might not be the wisest course given that 5 of the SCOTUS justices are Catholic.

    But more than that, sinking to relying on such blatantly illegal and discriminatory laws for support seems to say an awful lot about the gun control crowd. Well, at least those up in New York.

    That does sort of indicate that racists like gun control, does it not? Maybe by extension, other ~ists as well. Maybe I'm an ~ist.



    For all that I like the way gun control laws work here.

    I'm not sure that I would be so much in favour of similar laws if I lived in America.

      I assume they're trying to show legal precedent for arbitrarily denying the right to bear arms. But, yeah, choosing such blatantly racist laws that will never survive a legal challenge as your precedent is a brain dead maneuver.

        Just par for the course that they'd resort to something they're familiar and comfortable with.

                Hey if we can use denying guns to blacks and native americans in the past to bring back gun bans in NY, I wonder if they will use the fact that blacks were enslaved once to bring back slavery? That way liberals can just force blacks to vote for them.

                  If you can use denying guns to blacks and Native Americans in the distant past as justification for denying them now, then the same logic can be used to prohibit them from voting now.
