Guns Are Necessary To Protect Minority Speech
From Bearing Arms:
Intolerant views are common; everyone has them in one form or another, for one class of people or another. What’s completely unacceptable is when intolerance views morph into aggressive actions.
If you think of the performance as speech, it’s clear that the presence of guns allows that speech to happen. Those who don’t like it can “change the channel” and ignore it; no one is forcing you to whip yourself into an outraged frenzy by attending and watching the show.
Minorities Worried Oregon Gun Restriction Will Handicap Their Ability To Buy Firearms
From OPB.org:
But Measure 114 lacks criteria clearly defining what disqualifies applicants, details on what makes someone a threat and what data can be used by law enforcement in making that decision. That’s a problem for activists who have critiqued law enforcement, particularly in the racial justice protests that took place over the past two years.
“I just feel like if I was to go online and say like the police are terrorists or something … [the police] would be like, ‘Well, you seem like you might not be fit for this community to be armed,’ ” says Mia Rose, a trans person of color and former licensed firearms dealer. “If they were to get that information that you got snatched up off the street [arrested during the Portland protests prompted by the killing of George Floyd in 2020], I would assume that the law would say they could deny your purchase, or deny your right to have a permit.”
If only the gun rights groups had warned the people about possible government overreach.
The Shifting Demographics Of Gun Owners
From Axios:
That more people of color are exercising their Second Amendment rights could spell trouble for Democrats, who already suffered losses among these demographics in key battleground states in 2020.
Interview with Sharone Mitchell Jr. of the Cook County Public Defenders on NY Gun Case
From Slate’s What Next podcast:
Mess Of An Article Can’t Reconcile Gun Rights And Minority Rights
From Huckmag.com:
Feral says a ban would be “low-hanging fruit†for Biden’s base, but the implications might be anything but progressive. “If they make assault weapons a National Firearms Act regulated item, you’re talking about $1000 in tax stamps alone [to buy an assault rifle].†In her view, this doesn’t keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people – it keeps them out of the hands of poor people.
Armed Equality Group Disagrees With California Mag Ban
From The Truth About Guns:
Not every LGBT group agrees. One of which, California-based Armed Equality, filed its own brief in the case asking the court to let the ruling stand so that all armed individuals — regardless of orientation or gender — will have at their disposal all of the tools that are best suited to defend themselves and their families.
What’s more, Armed Equality has a few choice words for the three groups that are working so hard to keep LGBT people disarmed and vulnerable to the attacks they say are so often directed their way. Here’s Armed Equality’s open letter, originally published on their Facebook page and reprinted here with permission:
Gun Control Hurts Poor Minorities Most
From Fox News:
The regulations Harris and Booker are proposing would hit low-income Americans – many of whom live in high-crime neighborhoods – particularly hard, because the regulations would effectively prevent them from owning guns for protection by making gun ownership more expensive. Black Americans would be disproportionately affected because of their disproportionately high poverty rate.
Concealed Carry Rising Fast
From The Daily Caller:
Issued CCW permits increased approximately 275 percent over a ten-year period, from 4.6 million permits in 2007 to over 17.25 permits in 2018, according to a study released Friday by the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC). The number has been increasing year over year and is forecast to continue trending upwards.
