if black people are gonna have guns is it to protect themselves from kkk or kill each other?
cause it seems like they have them to kill each other which is probably to control the black population, like tupac said give them guns guns step back watch them kill each other.

well yeah gun control is stupid and if civilians don't have guns, criminals are going to go into our houses and rob us, because they know that we have no way of protecting ourselves

So anwar... I guess what you're saying is that black people wouldn't mind murdering each other, but they would mind skirting a few "gun control" laws. I'll bet I've seen you on the tele wearing those white sheets with that pointed hood... Ooh! If only I could remember the name of that organization!

"The Constitution of the United States of America clearly affirms the right of every American citizen to bear arms. And as Americans, we will not give up a single right guaranteed under the Constitution. The history of unpunished violence against our people clearly indicates that we must be prepared to defend ourselves or we will continue to be a defenseless people at the mercy of a ruthless and violent racist mob."
~ Malcolm X, Malcolm X, by J. Clarke
ed. (New York, N.Y., 1969), pg. 337

"What do they think of our condoning the violence WHICH LED TO THEIR OWN TAKING UP OF ARMS? ... Surely we must see that the men we supported pressed them to their violence. "
~ Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, April 4th, 1967
