Trayvon and a history of gun rights - HUMAN EVENTS

A good example of the above assertions:

Condoleezza Rice - Early political views

Rice was a Democrat until 1982, when she changed her political affiliation to Republican, in part because she disagreed with the foreign policy of Democratic President Jimmy Carter,[14][15] and because of the influence of her father, who was Republican. As she told the 2000 Republican National Convention, "My father joined our party because the Democrats in Jim Crow Alabama of 1952 would not register him to vote. The Republicans did."

......During the violent days of the Civil Rights Movement, Reverend Rice armed himself and kept guard over the house while Condoleezza practiced the piano inside. According to J.L. Chestnut, Reverend Rice called local civil rights leader Fred Shuttlesworth and his followers "uneducated, misguided Negroes."[94][95] Also, Reverend Rice instilled in his daughter and students that black people would have to prove themselves worthy of advancement, and would simply have to be "twice as good" to overcome injustices built into the system.[96] Rice said “My parents were very strategic, I was going to be so well prepared, and I was going to do all of these things that were revered in white society so well, that I would be armored somehow from racism. I would be able to confront white society on its own terms." While the Rices supported the goals of the civil rights movement, they did not agree with the idea of putting their child in harm's way.[93]

Rice was eight when her schoolmate Denise McNair, aged 11, was killed in the bombing of the primarily black Sixteenth Street Baptist Church by white supremacists on September 15, 1963. Rice has commented upon that moment in her life:

I remember the bombing of that Sunday School at 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham in 1963. I did not see it happen, but I heard it happen, and I felt it happen, just a few blocks away at my father's church. It is a sound that I will never forget, that will forever reverberate in my ears. That bomb took the lives of four young girls, including my friend and playmate, Denise McNair. The crime was calculated to suck the hope out of young lives, bury their aspirations. But those fears were not propelled forward, those terrorists failed.
— Condoleezza Rice, Commencement 2004, Vanderbilt University, May 13, 2004

Rice states that growing up during racial segregation taught her determination against adversity, and the need to be "twice as good" as non-minorities. Segregation also hardened her stance on the right to bear arms; Rice has said in interviews that if gun registration had been mandatory, her father's weapons would have been confiscated, leaving them defenseless against Ku Klux Klan nightriders.

Typical Coulter. Oversimplify, call names, mislead, etc. Democratic Party (United States) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) Republican Party (United States) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia History of the United States Republican Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ku_Klux_Klan

ilovetv: Thank you for expanding on this issue because I anticipated that the Dems on TOTV, as their party leaders would rewrite this history too. condi rice's life experience reinforces Coulter's article.

Try actually reading some history books rather than Ann Coulter's drivel.

"Formed by ex-Confederate soldiers after the Civil War, the Klan was an attempt to strike back at the federal government for its imposition of martial law and military occupation in the South. However, the victims of Klan violence—recently freed slaves—were far more vulnerable than the Southern whites, no matter how disenfranchised and dispossessed as they might have seen themselves to be. The Klan, which terrorized and killed African Americans throughout the South, was outlawed by the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871. In 1882, the U.S. Supreme Court declared the Klan Act unconstitutional, but by then Reconstruction was over, and the Klan had faded into the background". This is about the first KKK. There are several of them.

Yes, I knew we would soon hear/see the "OVERSIMPLIFICATION" of Rice's entire life experience and learning and her "utter lack of knowledge" as Secretary of State summed up in the single sentence, "There were no WMD's in Iraq".

Except that this is like saying the Yankees won the World Series in 1956. Perhaps they did. Now, you are trying to say that this 1956 Yankee team is somehow like the 2012 one? 1956 World Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

How so?

Or with Ann Coulter's book Demonic painting the Republicans of Lincoln's parties as the Republicans of Romney's???? Or, comparing the Southern Democrats of the Reconstruction with the Southern Democrats you will find in various Southern States in 2012.

No. A rose is not always a rose.

Here comes Ann Coulter with 'Demonic: How the Liberal Mob is Endangering America' - latimes.com

The Southern Democrats in Rice's account of her life are not the same Democrats as those of the President Barack Obama.

Please go to Jews For The Preservation of Firearms Ownership then scroll down and find the following three documentaries.

No Guns for Jews, No Guns for Negros and 2d Amendment.

Get educated on gun laws and why they are passed. There is no such thing as gun control, its 'PEOPLE CONTROL' and I for one refused to be controlled.

Not if you are a gang member in a war with fellow Crips. Or was it Bloods? Or with the DEA.

Why in the world would any hunter or even someone protecting their home even need a magazine with 10 rounds or more??

I wouldn't have one. But if you are the victim of the Crips/Bloods or others who DO have these weapons, you'd wish you had the right to have one.

Isn't that what the police are for though? I am certainly going to try to everything I can to avoid getting in gunfights with various gangs of thugs.
