Professor Compares Law-Abiding Gun-Owners To Slaveholders, Calls For Them To Be Shot
Submitted by Alex Thomas via Intellihub.com,
In what will go down as one of the most disgusting, hate filled articles ever published on the hard left clickbait rag Salon.com, an author and liberal college professor has written a piece that calls for all gun owners to be shot.
No, you did not read that incorrectly and this is not hyperbole.
The article, written by Coppin State University teacher D. Watkins, not only calls for all gun owners to be shot but also ridiculously compares them to slaveholders while claiming that there is no legitimate reason to own a weapon.
Starting out the article with the writers dreams of charging five thousand dollars per bullet, Watkins then makes his position on gun ownership in America startlingly clear. (emphasis mine)
Rock was definitely on point, $5000 bullets would be great but I’d take it a step further––I believe that being shot should be requirement for gun ownership in America. It’s very simple. You need to have gun, like taking selfies with pistols, can’t live with out it? Then take a bullet and you will be granted the right to purchase the firearm of your choice.
If we could successfully implement this rule, I guarantee the mass shootings will stop. Watching cable news now in days makes me physically ill.
Week in and week out we are forced to learn about another coward, who can’t stand to deal with the same rejection that most of us face–– so they strap themselves with guns and then cock and spray at innocent people. Heartbroken survivors and family member images go viral, as our elected officials remain clueless.
He then goes on to attack the usual right wing boogeyman (Carson and Trump) before making yet another patently false statement that shows his complete ignorance on the actual facts of gun ownership. Watkins, like so many other clueless authoritarian liberals, simply does not understand gun ownership and its connection to freedom and liberty. (emphasis mine)
Bullets are extremely hot and they hurt. I saw them paralyze, cut through faces, pierce children and take life. I have friends, relatives and loved ones be gunned down. Guns break apart families and ruin lives.
Other than giving a coward the heart to stand tall, what’s the positive part of gun ownership? Other than the people in rural areas who use them to hunt for food, I have only seen them destroy, both in the suburbs and in our inner cities.
Watkins only sees them destroy so the millions and millions of other American citizens who do not share his opinion should be shot!? It’s almost as if Watkins has decided to lift the veil and publish a piece chock full of the actual thoughts that liberal authoritarians share with each other on a regular basis.
Not wanting to have his call for all gun owners to be shot to be the only unbelievably messed up thing in his hate piece, Watkins then compares all gun owners to slaveholders in a transparent attempt to label those he disagrees with as racists. (a tried and true tactic of the authoritarian left) (emphasis mine)
Gun praisers are just like the people who were in favor of slavery back in the day - the elite, lazy and ignorant who weren’t being beaten, raped or in the field doing the work, so they were perfectly okay with involuntary servitude, which is a problem and why I think gun owners need to feel more– -they need a taste of the other side.
Got that gun owners. You are elitists, you are lazy, you are ignorant, and most of all you are like a slaveholder for owning those terrible firearms!
In case the reader thought that they may had just misread what the author meant in the beginning of the article, Watkins closes by reiterating his belief that all gun owners should be shot. (emphasis again mine)
So if you love guns, if they make you feel safe, if you hold and cuddle with them at night, then you need to be shot. You need to feel a bullet rip through your flesh, and if you survive and enjoy the feeling––then the right to bear arms will be all yours.
Ironically, this hate piece was published by a news outlet that routinely labels anyone that they disagree with as dangerous, violent racists. Apparently they are not worried about calling for millions of Americans to be shot just as long as those Americans are on the other side of the political isle.
The above quoted piece is a perfect example of how gun control advocates really feel about millions of America gun owners and should be a wake up call to anyone still on the fence over whether or not gun control fanatics are just calling for “common sense” reform rather than full-scale confiscation and attacks on actual gun owners.
It is also important to note that the call for gun owners to be shot is possibly tied directly to the recent promotion of Australian style gun control by the mainstream media. Australia initiated a massive mandatory buyback program (also known as confiscation by government force) after a mass shooting and one can imagine Americans would not be so keen to turn in their weapons if a similar law were passed in this country.
Attempting to implement this type of gun control in the United States is an obvious recipe for civil war and gun owners who refuse to go along with the confiscation would be subject to violence at the hands of the government. (see all gun owners being shot)
But hey, we are all just crazy right wing extremists for worrying about gun control, even as the media calls for mass confiscation and gun owners across the country to be shot.

Grand idea. Trying to shoot gun owners.
Got liberal tolerance?
Molon Labe, Professor.
He doesn't have the balls.
Better yet, he doesn't have a gun.
Don't bring a textbook to a gunfight, professor.
Imagine this guy is teaching. Even 50 years ago he would've caught a boot in the ass for "subversion".
What a seriously deranged idiot........so are farmers or ranchers that keep a loaded gun around for coyotes supposed to get shot too in order to own one?! I can hear it now, "but it all sounded good on paper".
Feel free to join me in emailing the President of Coppin state university and demand answers for this cowardly and hateful article
Dr. Maria Thompson mthompson@coppin.edu President Parlett Moore Library: 2nd Floor 410.951.3838 - Direct LineMy rights aren't determined by degenerate trash.
Ivory Towers have become asylums for the lunatic fringe. Understanding this makes it all the more puzzling how so many people are eager and willing to send their offspring to said harboring institutions for an "enlightened" education. And they go into debt in the 10s of thousands of dollars to boot! Insanity on Parade.
Question- if the slaves had been armed and organized into militias, could anything have kept them slaves?
Yes... stupidity and naivete. Most people NEED leadership... not because they are inferior, but because they are uneducated... unenlightened... and unwise in the truth behind the causes of their bondage.
One can follow a leader without being a slave.
Go easy on this guy.
Hes a professor.
They are dumb as fuck, and dont know shit.
This guy is teaching your kids, strannick. Well, SOMEBODY'S kids, anyway. Not mine.
But pedophiles good, or at least misunderstood. At least according to Saon's recent "reporting". I'm sure they had to type those articles with one hand though, so cut 'em some slack.
"Calls for Them to be Shot"
Professor: No, no wait! That is a typo...I said that "I call for them to have 'pot'"! Yeah, that's the ticket...
Why did anyone give the stage to that bag of shit, racist pig?
D. Watkins WTF kind of made up name is that.
Take that mentally ill psycho out and shoot him.
Nazis were the first Liberals
Zerohedge clickait
“You need to have gun, like taking selfies with pistols, can’t live with out it? Then take a bullet”
Selfies with handguns? Take a bullet?
That's racist!
That bigot is advocating shooting a large number of young black home boys.
this guy is a former drug dealer so he probably has some experience with guns. the part i thought was a bit much is where the potential gun owner has to be shot and like it.
it seemed like a reasonable argument right up to that point. i especially liked the really expensive bullets so only the rich are armed. that's always a good idea.
here's some stuff on him:
http://hub.jhu.edu/magazine/2014/fall/d-watkins-baltimore-writer
"But pedophiles good"
Pedophiles have a 98% recidivism rate....they can't be "rehabilitated".
As a person who used to be against the death penalty (even for them), I was torn knowing that 99% of pedophiles were molested as a child.
Its fucked up and given the stats, a good share here on ZH are perpetuating this...
So, I now fully support any death penalty legislation that specifically is applied to pedophiles.
One generation must "take one for the team" in order to rid the planet of this merry go round.
"given the stats".... what crap stats would those be? 30% of children are molested? 40% of women are raped? Whatever you have in mind, I would hazard a guess that it is absolute bullshit.
i also like the part where the death penalty is meted out for what at the margin is underage sex.
it certainly has stopped all the treason and murder (and rape and forced oral sex, don't forget chessman, in its time).
some people are able to believe nearly anything.
Those who can ,do, those who can,t teach
and those who use commas as apostrophes, what they?
not teach certainly.
drink possibly.
They teach gym class. And those who fuck up even that come to ZH and post comments like this one (mine).
My now ex-wife took a .30 cal rifle bullet to the shoulder during the daughters softball tournament a few years back in a random fire coincidental shooting.
She's nuts, and I wouldn't let her have any of my handguns when she left.
Author is audience seeking the libtard brigade.
Wow,...wait,...what??
Wait, what? I think we need some details on that story, esprit. Floor is yours....
Ahhh yes, the old "ex-wife accidentally shot by a stray bullet" thing. I read you loud and clear, brother ;)
It could happen to anyone.
It is so hard to get good help these days.
Well that is not exactly accurate. People actually CHOOSE to willingly become slaves as it relieves them, so they believe, of any personal responsibility in their lives.
Just how easy is it to testify that, "I vass jus' following orderz. Nein mein responsivility, Herr Prosecutor."
Every man who volunteered to join the regimented Military made the decision to become a slave. They do not have to think for themselves.
In fact the saddest part is that they believe that they are free, and fighting for freedom, when they are enslaved.
The shackles which need to be removed first is the shackles within their own minds. And they become too comfortable in intellectual laziness and refuse to challenge themselves to greater and better accomplishment.
No. Slavery is a CHOICE, a VOLITIONAL CHOICE, for most people. Soldiers are completely and outrightly choosing it. But most are just seeing that next paycheck. They want their lives normal and comfortable and they do not have any aspirations..
They really do love Big Brother. Yes. They really do love their bondage.
Yes Tall Tom but does your cliched example HAVE to be the usual anti-Germanic Hollyweird TV un-funnyness. You could apply that to any regimented military in the world . Why is it always "Zee Germans".. Victors propaganda much Tall Tom ? Because if you are American far worse attrocities were committed by them in WW2 never mind since and to this day. Suggest you brush up on some "Revised" history
certainly the germans seem duly chastened now.
the u.s. and israel perhaps not enough. but it's coming.
So tired of this anti-white trope. Just shut up or find a new example of boogey man.
Mad Dog 20/20 and television.
Q, Guns are terrible! Why would you want to own one?
A. Liberals are trying to shoot me.
I would never willingly send a child into a gun-free zone.
Academia has completely detached from reality. Fattened by the absurd cost of tuition fueled by easy student loans, these perfumed princes and princesses think they are immune from the struggles that take place in the every day world.
It is time to empty the universities and hand the professors and staff shovels and directions to the nearest barren field.
Guess what academics? Mao would have approved!
Yes
Did anyone actually read this article? Basically, some idiot trolled the gun owners of America, and some douchebag took the bait and went full Bieber with it. Notwithstanding that there's a difference between saying gun owners should be shot and gun owners should take a bullet [for the ostensibly idiotic reason of knowing what it feels like to get shot], the retort was just as retarded as the original suggestion.
I am Chumbawamba.

What Salon did was seed a meme. The ideas of this anti-gun article might find stony ground and be burned away when the sun rests upon it, but it may find fertile ground and bear fruit. Just like the Salon article about pedophiles not being monsters. They are casting seeds and seeing what takes and what dies because of public outrage.
Oh, oh, I like your logic professor! Can we apply it to same sex marriage also?
I think if you support marriage "equality", you should have to take a nice, big cock up the pooper.
Note: the author does not support government registration marriage for any sexual preference.
Whoa, can we apply it to abortion?
Note: the author does not support government registrated abortion for any sexual gender.
calm yourselves. you are starting to make the "professor" (see bio above, he's not quite the guy you imagine) look reasonable.

When I occassionally espy the highlights of a college football game, I think the same thing. Watching all of those "scholars" on the field plying their masculine forte makes me proud to be part of such an enlightened generation.
In all seriousness... what we truly need is a national CSU... Common Sense University. Were such an institution in existence, it would, no doubt, attract a huge number of applicants heretofore denied the blessings of such a logical academy.

How about a Five Minute University?

That was great. And that's about what it amounts to, Petolo.
We are - all of us - in a perpetual state of "learning" throughout our lives. The whole idea of paying eggheads with sheepskins 10s of thousands of dollars to "teach" us things is more often than not ludicrous. Granted, specialty courses necessarily require added minutiae, but by and large, most general university knowledge can easily be gleaned by personal curiosity, fortitude and an honest questing for facts. Books and, of course, the internet, are superb vehicles for this journey. One needn't go into debt for knowledge... it's all there for the taking... assuming one has the wisdom and intelligence to discern truth from lie.
The internet has made the vast majority of them obsolete. The 'funding' politicians should act accordingly.
While I agree with your sentiment, the error in your logic lies in your assumption that young people go (or are sent) to college/university to LEARN something. In fact, the vast majority go to GET A PIECE OF PAPER, because in a world of credentialism, whether you know anything or not is irrelevant. What is important is "Do you have the piece of paper?". Credentialism is more important than reason. Go visit "accreditedtimes.com" for more on this.
It's all part of the Alice In Wonderland world we live in. The teachers pretend to teach, the students pretend to learn, the students pay their tuition with loans they pretend to pay back, which are loans from a government that borrowed the money that IT pretends to pay back. Men pretend to be women, whites pretend to be blacks, politicians pretend to care, and priests pretend to believe in God (the head of the United Church in Canada recently said she's not sure she's believes in God!). Everyone pretends that health care is 'free', that all people are equal in ability, and that they themselves aren't bigoted or racist, it's just everybody else. They pretend America is the "home of the free', as warrantless searches and civil forfeiture go rampant, that it is still 'the home of the brave', as its ass is kicked across the ME and Asia by teenagers with machine guns, and that America is 'exceptional', except that it's turning out like every other dictatorship in world history.
No wonder in a world built on pretence after pretence that so many people escape with drugs. If 'reality' is in fact surreal, how much worse could it be under the influence of drugs?
Thanks Petolo good laugh before bed!

Owning a gun, and knowing how and when to use one, are two dissimilar and disparate subjects (even though both are sometimes related to each other).
Gandalf knows what he's doing.
What's 'college football', by the way? Is that like training college students to submit to TSA searches for the 'big game' (in a 'non-professional' way)? They hate us because of our freedom to throw pigskins! (Waiting for the obligitory fly-by of the USAF planes spraying their pretty-colored shit all over the attendence of a 'big game' at the 'halftime show')

Have you ever heard the 1812 Overture, Mr. Bach?
How about making a terrorist threat?
This moron is but one reason why this Country is hated globally--violent, fascist weirdo.
I am emailing her right now.
Dr. Thompson needs to understand that the precedent has already been set by Dees over at the Southern Poverty Law Center with its successful suits against the Klan. An organization can be held liable when persons under its influence act out on calls for violence against individuals or a class of individuals. All that is needed is for one dimwit to listen to this call to commit murder and act on it. Every gun owner has been assaulted by this call for murder issued by one of Dr. Thompson’s faculty members.

Coppin State is an all black school in Baltimore, so black lives matter...wait, this fucking moron would have to shoot half the brothers in Baltimore!
Dindu's don't buy guns legally so the professor is giving them a pass. He wants to shoot legal gun owners.
Liberal logic on display. Karma will insist he is shot being mugged by a dindu.
"What a seriously deranged idiot."
You can say that again. There's this phenomena that I suspect not all ZHers have heard about called "social justice warriors" (SJW) that seems to be embedded in a certain class of the ultra-left that has a hallmark of incredible levels of emotional thinking with no critical thought at all. I normally see it with feminism, gender issues, etc, but this is the first time I've seen it with respect to gun issues (and no, this isn't your usual liberal gun control stuff, once you see a few videos of it you're recognize it's something completely different.)
I appears to be a mental illness but it seems to be one that's acquired and developed through a fucked-up social reward system rather that some organic deficiency.
I bring all this up because this class is getting into policy positions. However, as noted, they lack critical thinking skills so it's just a matter of time before reality catches up to them. Not a much of a Rand fan, bue she nailed this histrionic world-will-bow-to-my-unrealistic-demands dynamic in Atlas Shrugged.
"Not a much of a Rand fan,"
The woman certainly had a number of problems, especially with regard to romantic and personal relationships, but she understood the broad strokes of human nature, specifically:
We are getting the world she warned us about.
and imagine if you will, for only mere moments, the mental state of a person who actually believes the official theory narratives of all the false flag shooter events .... trauma based mind control .... they are a victim, pathetic as they may be ...
now, how about calls for his resignation immediately. Remember the "little eichman" professor who was fired for saying those two words.... years later won the case but not his bennies ... oh, and he was awarded one dollar iirc ...for his years of inconvenience
Forget 'subversion'. Gross stupidity and epic foolishness, so opposite intelligent and wise. When a man can't think of himself out of an obvious propaganda piece :

I just saw that he is an adjunct. There you have the problem, the reason, and should feel sorry for the guy. Someone in the chain of power above him had expectations, and the man did his duty to his family. When you can be the next level honest in your life, you can throw that stone.
Almost 100 years ago, zionist bandits (who called themselves communists) promised a blood bath and a civil wars in case they would get the power. Stupid Russian elite and Russian middle class did not take them seriously.
It was a terrible mistake. After taking power, a bloodbath and a civil war took place in Russia. The genocide of Slavic Russians has followed. Now, Russia is closed to its final agony. Native Russians are leaving and Russia is more and more reminds the former Yugoslavia.
Native Russians are leaving, wtf are you talking about? If I was a native Russian I would be leaving the US to go back.
Guys like him usually have a pistol or a rifle/shotgun they never talk about.
Columnist Wm. Raspberry, a staunch anti-gunner, once used a pistol given to him (ironically) by his son, an FBI agent, to shoot a burglar at his residence years ago.
The Truth is, Leftists don't really care about gun ownership. They just don't want those who do not share their totalitarian beliefs to have arms.
ACP - no, if you do not give up your natural born right to self defense and your firearm, professor Watkins wants armed men to kick in the door to your family home and shoot you and any family member who resists his edict!
How perverse is that!?
He should have to describe why each and every group of people should not be allowed to carry guns.
"Old people should not be allowed to carry guns because..."
"Women should not be able to carry guns because..."
"White people should not be able to carry guns because..."
"Black people should not be able to carry guns because..."
If ANY of those statements is found to be racist or in any way bigoted by ANY group, then HE should be shot. After being drawn and quatered.
If teacher D. Watkins feels so strongly about people not having guns, may I suggest that he go around, unarmed, and try confiscating guns and see how far he gets.
He'll pay someone else to take them.
Yeah, go ahead and try to shoot me, bitch. I have a gun. I WILL shoot back.
Woo Hoo...
Open carry on the agenda in the Sunshine State.
Tehas, here we come.
The guy's approach is based on nothing but emotion: hatred towards those who do not share his personal totalitarian beliefs.
There is nothing concrete (factual) in his article which logically argues against arms ownership.
Intellectuals like himself were the first to be executed when Pol Pot came to power, yet I bet initially he would support such an individual until it came time for him to be liquidated.

I'm perfectly fine with them coming to TRY and take my defense systems. They could use a good test anyway.
We may get our chance to go Viet Cong on them. Let's hope not. I'm not up to a lot of hit-and-run assymetric attacks at my age. I would have to serve as an armorer for the Patriots and teach tactics.
I have no illusions about winning. Just don't want to take one on my knees in the back of the head. Old people can be a problem as they see they have little to lose. Going out anyway....might as well leave a mark.
The Mullahs of Marxism from overpaid perches in their Marxist Madrasas where the curriculum has been reduced to doctrinal screeds.

Philly Democrat trying to get attention.
You got that right.
A no-name prof, at a no-name school.... with a little luck he can get onto a broadcast venue, get a little name recognition, and maybe even a better job.
He is adjunct faculty. You know, like Obama.
He cites Chris Rock. He's a joke.
Oh, and get out while you can.
I won't slam all adjunct faculty, but I spent a few years myself as an adjunct professor at a Good State University, and people with that title can be ignorami of the highest order, as is evidenced by this "prof" in Baltimore.
Having spent have my life on a University campus in a University town this hypocrisy isn't surprising but what is a Coppin State?
It's a "traditionally black" college that's part of the University of Maryland system. Like Lincoln University in Oxford, PA, these black colleges have completely different "standards" for scholarship. Lowering the bar doesn't begin to cover it.
You forgot to state that it is in BALTIMORE.
FUCKING BALTIMORE, where it's MIDNIGHT at HIGH NOON.
Yeah, I've been there... It's like Watts or South Central, but WORSE. CLEAN, as the plantation owners in D.C. want it to be (your tax dollars at work), but ONE of the murder capitals of the CONUS (despite all those 'gun laws').
Baltimore, where the debris meets the sea. Never take US Route 40 through Bal'more because it turns into Orleans Street and you won't get out alive if you're not of the vibrant persuasion. Always stay on I-95 which takes you over and under (Harbor Tunnel) good ol' Charm City.
Its like a seminary specializing in theology. Black Liberation Theology.
Maybe when all the street thugs surrender their guns, maybe I'll turn in one or two of mine. Maybe.
I have no illusions of fighting our government with guns...at least not winning, but I am concerned about the mad dogs on the streets.
I have no illusions of fighting our government with guns...at least not winning
They seem to be concerned and that shows weakness not strength.
They want you to think you could not win against Them.
Yet, the "3%" of Patriots who fought in the Revolution beat the vaunted British Army- Twice.
They did not get enough during the Revolution, so Sharp Knife* slaughtered them once more at New Orleans. The British soldier at New Orleans was battle-hardened from fighting Napoleon.

A "coppin' state" is the state of being where a liberal negroid professor is in the act of smoking a crack pipe; right before that shit he's sucking in hits his brain and he achieves the state of being of 'copping a buzz'.
ONLY COPS should have guns! BUT, NOT WHITE ONES!
Liberal, Jewish journalist claims gun rights will go away when white people are the minority
"Polls show that whites tend to favor gun rights over gun control by a significant margin (57 percent to 40 percent). Yet whites, who comprise 63 percent of the population today, won’t be in the majority for long. Racial minorities are soon to be a majority, and they are the nation’s strongest supporters of strict gun laws."
"The fastest-growing minority group in America is Latinos. Between 2000 and 2010, the nation’s Latino population grew by 43 percent. Hispanics, which make up 17 percent of the population today, are expected to grow to 30 percent of the population in the coming decades."

Once the shooting stops, the numbers will be back in correct proportions again, trust me.
I'll sell to a latina.
Is it supposed that minorities support gun laws simply because they vote liberal? Sure seems like plenty of minorities are already armed up. I have a hard time seeing them hand them over.
My take would be that most minorities do not believe that our laws actually apply to them. Especially if they can get a leftist government in place. We will likely see evil businessmen in prison on convictions of excessive profit while the murderers receive clemency as being victims of society.
How many whites have been enslaved by anyone since the Roman empire?
Maybe white have some good ideas there.
Arab pirates were capturing small Irish towns in the Seventeenth century.
Bill bonner once wrote about a raid on the Irish town of Baltimore, if my memory is correct.
Decades later , the Brits came to rescue them, but most preferred to stay.
>>>How many whites have been enslaved by anyone since the Roman empire?
Millions, cumulatively. Try reading some... um, history books.
FWIW, the land currently known as Ukraine was a prime supplier of slaves to more southerly realms, as were essentially all settlements on the Mediterranean coasts, and onward into the Atlantic (as well as deep into Africa and India). Even Iceland suffered one or two well-documented slave raids out of the Muslim world.
The Arabs and Turks, after all, were quite accomplished as warriors and navigators. If you want to find chattel slavery today you do have to look for it, but I think we all know where to look.
You got that backwards professor. That's you up in your ivory tower (Elite, lazy, ignorant and a complete slave to the dollar and US taxpayer), while you skim off the poor and eat steaks. You use the elites system to your advantage, at the expense of the poor you then indoctrinate. It's not going to work on us and our guns are meant to protect us from freak losers like you. Us gun owners won't bow dow to the likes of your curropt elk. Won't happen slave. You can die trying though. Balls in your court, we have the guns already.
Southern slaveowners also understood the need to keep their victims helpless and unarmed, as gun-law expert Stephen P. Halbrook documents in his book That Every Man Be Armed.
“No slave shall go armed with a gun, or shall keep such weapons,” declared an 1854 law of North Carolina. Violators received 39 lashes.
After the Civil War, many white southerners feared that black freedmen would take bloody vengeance on their former masters. Fears of a black uprising were particularly intense in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina, where blacks outnumbered whites.
White southerners responded by creating a race-based caste system — a U.S. version of apartheid. Gun control was crucial to making it work. Southern whites tried to maintain their antebellum monopoly over firearms. Many states barred African Americans from owning guns.
Local police, state militias and Ku Klux Klansmen rode from house to house, demanding that blacks turn in their weapons. Once disarmed, they were helpless against lynch mobs.
“Before these midnight marauders made attacks upon peaceful citizens,” Representative Benjamin F. Butler of Massachusetts informed the U.S. Congress in 1871, “there were many instances in the South where the sheriff of the county had preceded them and taken away the arms of their victims.”
On the other hand, freedmen who kept their guns were able to fight back. Representative Butler described an incident in which armed blacks successfully resisted a Klan attack.
“The colored men then fired on the Ku Klux, and killed their leader or captain right there on the steps of the colored men’s house…. There he remained until morning when he was identified, and proved to be ‘Pat Inman,’ a constable and deputy sheriff….”
https://www.lewrockwell.com/2003/11/richard-poe/the-disarming-of-black-a...
So would it be more "affirmative action" to redistribute weapons from privileged whites to the oppressed minorities?
I don't follow.
Gun laws will have the effect of disarming law abiding citizens, while criminal types will not do so voluntarily. Given that statistically minorities are much more apt to be violent law breakers, it would only stand to reason that if lawmakers were actually considering REAL effects of their laws, they would be deliberately arming minorities while disarming the largely white population.
Or is everything an unfortunate unintended consequence?
Liberal Tolerance exists?
Liberal Tolerance exists?
Well, yeah - their version of tolerance - which is vitriolic hatred for everyone who doesn't believe wha they do .... They use the same words, but you need a double-speak dictionary to decipher the meaning ;)
A few days back ZH posted that picture with farmer and a shotgun/hand gun next to a masked person (definitely not the school shooters who were "legal" gun owners) before gun control.
The after gun control had the farmer with no guns and the hoodlum who still kept his gun.
Seeing that picture hopes whoever drew it and whoever posted it gets shot.
The real picture would have the farmer with his semi-auto assault rifle with huge capacity magazine and his semi auto hand gun with huge capacity clip before gun control.
The after gun control would have him with the shot gun and revolver.
I have no idea why some masked guy is even in the picture to begin with considering all the crazy mass shootings are from people who legally purchased their guns.
And please tell us O wise one, exactly what percentage of gun deaths (not suicide) are done by people with legally owned guns?
Statistics please? And what percentage of gun deaths are black on black with illegally purchased guns?
Black on white?
White on black?
WE NEED TO KNOW!!
the farmer with his semi-auto assault rifle with huge capacity
A semi-automatic rifle is not an assault rifle. And how many cartridges fit in a "huge capacity" magazine?
I have no idea why some masked guy is even in the picture to begin with considering all the crazy mass shootings are from people who legally purchased their guns.
Crazy mass shootings are not the norm. Garden variety criminals are the norm. These are the guys who the farmer is most likely to have to defend himself against. Get it?
He will never get it because his talking points all come from the MSM.
After the 13th mass shooting in 12 years, Australia banned semi-autos and hand guns, and required a reason for ownership (self defense is not acceptable).
Australia hasn't had a mass shooting since the buy-back, however violent crime, assaults and aggrevated robbery has all increased.
So, yes, gun confiscation does have a marked impact on rare yet media-friendly mass shootings, but the effect on regular, common and everyday non-televised violent crime is also marked.
Which one is more likely to affect yourself or someone you know?
Sure, after confiscation no need for hoax mass killings.
But there will definitly be a need for martial law, what with all the massive increases of violent crime...
Both hillary and obama consider conservatives their enemies, something that they can't say about islamic radicals or even iran. They complain about the thugs who are locked up for killing and raping black and brown people. Statistics show that nearly 100% of those criminals are black or brown themselves and make up 75% of criminals incarcerated. They want to let those people out and lock up law abiding gun owners, the vast majority of whom are white males, their enemies, by their own admission. They would love to pass laws creating felons out of millions of white male gun owners who are too lazy to vote. They would love nothing more than those same white males attempting to keep their guns, as we have seen in Connecticut. So, they can lock them up or kill them, as the prof wants.
The hatred that the left has for straight white people, especially Christians, has no limits as shown by this nuts statements. As was pointed out, this is something that they talk about among themselves, but now they are starting to feel safe with telling the world. They have gotten away with sicing the IRS, OSHA, ATF and others on conservative business' and others without any adverse ramifications. Look at the ATF fiasco of "fast and furios" where they started flooding mexico with guns so that they could then say look at all of the guns going from America into mexico, after obama claimed that was happening, what a coincidence that was. It is estimated that well over 500 people have been killed with those guns, a few of them border agents. If a Republican was in office, there would have been media at each of those murder victims funerals and demands for millions of dollars for each victim, but wink wink nod nod, obama gets off, because of good intentions, as in the ends justify the means to get there.
Same with disarming white male gun owners, if they get killed oh well, all in the name of disarming inner city black thugs killing people by the thousands in the big cities, what the connection is, I have no clue?
They fail to realize that it is the vast majority of police and military are still white males, or so called minorities with similar conservative views (which they hate even more than the white males, for they aren't really black or hispanic, they are traitors). Does anyone really think that the police, or their military conterparts, in most conservative states will disarm themselves or their families and friends?
The left has declared war on the police for not being good baby sitters to the millions of minority males who are slaughtering each other. They can't blame their socialists family destroying policies, from democratic mayors who have ruled these hell holes for 50 or 60 years, so they blame the police. Obama's buddy Rahm in chicago even calls the police cowards. They are not so much afraid of being killed, to them, it is a loss of honor they fear most. They do not want to be on the news being crucified for killing a black male, no matter what the circumstances. Being called a racist and murderer for putting their lives on the line protecting others.
Again, the ends justifies the means, throw the cops under the bus, so the dems can get the black vote for a few more years, until they can find some other mostly organization to blame for the failed socialists democratic policies.
Wake up, they vicerally hate themselves for being American and White, so they viciously attack anyone who reminds them of who they are. They want to destroy straight white males by any means possible. Try to get a job with the govt. being a white male, unless you are way more qualified then everyone else. But above all, they hate any brown or black that goes against the liberal democratic machine. They fear that one day Blacks will wake up and realize it is democrats who destroyed their families, jobs, 20 million of their babies, and condemed them to perpetual poverty, substance abuse, crime that rivals war zones.
If they take our guns, then no one will be able to stop them. My question is, what is their long term plan? It is white males who still make up nearly 1/2 of the working population and pay the vast majority of taxes?
Who will fund their evil plans?
Take care and God bless, respectfully, American Warrior
Good points at the beginning. The Left is not about the little guy, helping people or all the BS propoganda they throw out for show. Their ultimate goal is power and power alone. The alpha-lefties always know this.
That is why you are exactly right that Hillary, Obama and even the twit Rosie O'Donnell know that their real enemies are 2nd Amendment, conservatives and also evangelicals. That is where any resistance to their acwuisition of power will come from. Evangelicals are more because they do not view the State as superior to God so they will never quite be good statist sheep.
ISIS and Islamic terrorists are not any real threat to power other than a very distant future. They can even be useful. You let a few Islamists or others go gun crazy and get the drum beats for a gun ban going ever louder.
Lock n load. The progressive liberal democraps are among the nastiest, disrespectful and most intolerant people on earth.
Just as I thought. A quick Google search shows he is a black guy. Slavery? Get me a break. And he is teaching people. Lord help us.
What about car owners? Should they be run down before they can own one?
This is not a "professor," at least not in the traditional form of that term where a scholar spends their life studying a subject, goes through the process of being an assistant professor then an associate professor while earning their PhD and working on their dissertation and then, after 15 years or so, IF the position opens up, being granted a professorship. Unfortunately, the traditional model for becoming a professor is no longer the norm in Big Education, who will make anyone a "professor" who gives them some sort of access to federal funding.
This punk used to be a drug dealer.
The liberals in academe pimped him up to this position because he can attack what they've been attacking for 50 years, but from the perspective of the street thug, which, in their pathetic, indoctrinating minds, gives him some kind of "steet cred" and gives them the angelic aura of "celebrtaing diversity."
According to this briliant scholar's own reasoning, the only women who should be allowed to have abortions are those who have survived an abortion attempt.
The pimps in academe may want to vet their little whores a bit better so that they can find one that doesn't present ideas that can be used against their other pet projects.
Progressive liberal democraps are the nastiest, disrespectful & intolerant people on earth.

Make my day
So, his name and address is what?
A gun grabbing prof from COP-pin state. lol
.
I want to own a gun just to protect me from that asshole specifically.
I'd call him a "dumb nigger" but I don't want to sound racist.
Or redundant.
OT Coppin inherited the Gothic Brick building ,once The Jewish Home For Orphans.
It has largely gone to rack and ruin, but it is a testament to the care the community gave to its most unfortunate before the state usurped the compassion of the community.
Not surprised these fascist faggots feel this way
I don't want to take a bullet in support of my faith in the Second Amendment, but I acknowledge the possibility that I may have to.

Thinking about helping my son get this. It would be his first pistol. He has a Mossberg 12 gauge.
Why buy a POS again? Save for a couple months for a real gun FFS
POS only needs to last until you take a nicer one off a .gov corpse. :)
Shop around. Cheaper Than Dirt gouged during the ammo shortage and doesn't deserve your business. Check out these two aggregator sites.

luckygunner.com isn't to bad either
CTD has no morals and will gouge you in a moment. A local retailer Fleet farm jacked up gas to over $4.00 the day after 9/11, NEVER buy gas there.. They also enter your B-day into their POS when buying ammunition so they have a nice database there of Bdays cross referenced to ammo calibers....
Let Barack Obama sell you all the battle rifles, armor piercing ammuniton and bayonets you want.
Every bit of it, INCLUDING THE GUNS, delivered via FedEx right to your front door.

PS-- Assuming this year's defense bill passes, they're getting 100,000 .45s as well.
Teach your son that a handgun/sidearm is simply a tool that lets one be able to survive long enough to retrieve his Battle rifle.
I have a Taurus handgun. Not too bad as far as quality goes, and accurate as well.
A .45 with a short barrel, however, might not have the accuracy required (have your son work on developing his wrist, forearm, and upper arm strength before training with this weapon).
Personally, I don't like this 'new generation' of weapons that are too light to hold still when firing. Just MY opinion (other 'customer' experiences may vary).
SURE, help him get one, but work on OTHER weapons with longer effective ranges as well. AK's are too mechanically ignorant and innacurate and unrepeatable for me, and AR's (in standard caliber) are too undepowered (but the possibility of NATO .556 rounds, with the right weapon, might help).
If your kid likes hunting, I like the Mosin-Nagant 7.62 x 54 (Russian) for bringing down big game at extreme range (for example). I got one of these and re-habbed it extensively, and the damned thing is a REAL sniper rifle. A Mossberg 12-guage would be good for shooting the quail flock that seems to have made my front yard their home lately, but a swarm of SPLC-planted professors and Obama's 'homeland security forces' are a real issue nowadays.
DO IT. DO IT for the CHILDREN.
Lemme guess, "teacher" Watkins is a "progressive" black.
"Watkins could not be reached for comment. He's too busy knockout punching crackas."

enjoy...
Also take a look at the 'college professor' line up
OUTED!
HOLY SHIT, this is a good find!
Fucking H dealer from the hood!
Winner, winner! Chitlins for dinner!
"Lemme guess, "teacher" Watkins is a "progressive" black." -nmewn
It could be argued that he's a self-hating Christian or self-hating American.
Proof that being a college professor isn't synonymous with intelligence.
What do you expect from a website run by that Joan Walsh cunt?
By his own logic, he drinks water so he should drown; uses electricity so he should be electrocuted, and drives a car so he should be run over.
Maybe we should consider the implications of "Original Sin" that he raises about the periphery of the article as per slave ownership (guilt, etc, as per what else might such ownership be compared to... and why was this topic chosen?)
Black males, who used to be drug dealers, should not even obliquely reference "Original Sin"
Presumably, DWHITE has been shot, since he is a reformed drug dealer and all. Apparently, he's turned over a new leaf, kicked the crack habit, and has also given up all of his own previously owned firearms, the ones he had to carry as a drug dealer when it was an imperative to achive a balance of power vis a vis other drug dealers. Now that he's found a refuge in the ivory tower, he can show off his own grisly gunshot scars and make irresponsible comments equating gun ownership with slavery.
Put the bitch back on the street, and let's see how long it takes him to be re-acquainted with the principles of self-defense.
Put him in a room with Malcolm X, and see how long it takes the brutha to reaffirm what Malcolm said:
“I must say this concerning the great controversy over rifles and shotguns. The only thing that I've ever said is that in areas where the government has proven itself either unwilling or unable to defend the lives and the property of Negroes, it's time for Negroes to defend themselves.
“If the white man doesn't want the black man buying rifles and shotguns, then let the government do its job.
“That's all. And don't let the white man come to you and ask you what you think about what Malcolm says — why, you old Uncle Tom. He would never ask you if he thought you were going to say, ‘Amen!’ No, he is making a Tom out of you. “So, this doesn't mean forming rifle clubs and going out looking for people, but it is time, in 1964, if you are a man, to let that man know. If he's not going to do his job in running the government and providing you and me with the protection that our taxes are supposed to be for, since he spends all those billions for his defense budget, he certainly can't begrudge you and me spending $12 or $15 for a single-shot, or double-action.
“I hope you understand. Don't go out shooting people, but any time — brothers and sisters, and especially the men in this audience; some of you wearing Congressional Medals of Honor, with shoulders this wide, chests this big, muscles that big — any time you and I sit around and read where they bomb a church and murder in cold blood, not some grownups, but four little girls while they were praying to the same God the white man taught them to pray to, and you and I see the government go down and can't find who did it.
“Why, this man — he can find [Adolf] Eichmann1 hiding down in Argentina somewhere. Let two or three American soldiers, who are minding somebody else's business way over in South Vietnam, get killed, and he'll send battleships, sticking his nose in their business. He wanted to send troops down to Cuba and make them have what he calls free elections — this old cracker who doesn't have free elections in his own country.”
