Martin Luther King Jr. – Man of peace but no pushover

In 1956 Martin Luther King Jr. applied for a concealed carry permit in Alabama since he was getting so many death threats. As you can imagine, since gun controls roots were founded in racism and keeping blacks unarmed was the point of gun control, King was denied.

Now, some of you may think that MLK Jr wanting to carry a gun is incongruent with him being a non violent civil rights activist. It’s not and here’s why; just because you preach non violence does not mean you need to be a sacrificial lamb to anyone who is going to harm you or your family.

Dr. King believed that through non-violence interaction with the government his dream of equality could be realized. But he was not naive nor stupid and did not believe that non violence would protect him or his family from those with evil in their hearts.

So Martin Luther King Jr, a black Republican pastor who preached non violence and who had quantifiable reasons to be allowed to carry concealed (the multitude of death threats) was denied a permit.

If we allow gun control to force us to ask permission in order to exercise our rights, then we leave the door open for the government to say no. And if Dr. King wasn’t good enough to get a concealed carry permit, then what hope do the rest of us have.

Here I was thinking I had a chance and you had to go ruin my caffeine buzz with that. I wish more Blacks realized the racist roots of gun control. The media would have to restructure how they make fun of gun owners. Not just a bunch of shotgun wielding rednecks??? Then watch as they try to "expand" their crude humor out to include other groups and see how fast that would backfire! Now that would be great.

I posted this too little too late for MLK day, but black history month is coming up. And all throughout the year we can make ourselves parties of one to get this information out.

But MLK was a communist infiltrator so it doesn't matter :rolleyes:
