I agree w/Clarence Thomas now? Apparently so. World gone mad, I tell you.

Though to be fair, NC upbringing and military life all but guarantees I'm pro-2nd amendment.  Plus, you know, logic.  Guns are tools.  People are criminals.  Bonus points for the Nat Turner shout out tho'.

"His advocacy for black self-defense is straight from the heart of Malcolm X." - Hit & Run : Reason Magazine:

"In a scorcher of an opinion that reads like a mix of black history lesson and Black Panther Party manifesto, he goes on to say, "Militias such as the Ku Klux Klan, the Knights of the White Camellia, the White Brotherhood, the Pale Faces and the '76 Association spread terror among blacks. . . . The use of firearms for self-defense was often the only way black citizens could protect themselves from mob violence."

This was no muttering from an Uncle Tom, as many black people have accused him of being. His advocacy for black self-defense is straight from the heart of Malcolm X. He even cites the slave revolts led by Denmark Vesey and Nat Turner -- implying that white America has long wanted to take guns away from black people out of fear that they would seek revenge for centuries of racial oppression."
