My Second Amendment Support Has Nothing To Do With White Conservatives!

This X post from earlier today frames this post on the existential topic of armed defense in the Black community:

'As a Brother surrounded by violent community traitors coddled, pampered and enabled by White liberals, I need access to firearms without unnecessary red tape b/c they've made my community a free fire zone for felons and we targets have the right to shoot back. Cap Black.'

My second amendment support (hereafter, '2A') wasn't sparked by actor Charlton Heston saying government would only achieve disarmament of the population, "from my cold, dead hands!"

Great quote by a great actor, btw.

Inspiration for my '2A' support sprang from a snub-nosed .357 revolver my maternal grandfather carried, pistol my mother had and stopped carrying due to pacifism, rifles in each room of my maternal grandparents house, legendary Black deputy US Marshal Bass Reeves, iconic armed poses of rifle carrying 'Stagecoach Mary', Harriet Tubman, Malcolm X, the original Black Panthers, the Deacons For Defense, Principal Joe Clark and his famed baseball bat (not a firearm but definitely armed!), and hearing how Bethune-Cookman College founder brandished a gun to prompt some klansmen menacing the school to choose discretion as the better part of valor.

No right wing agenda evident in these examples, just the 'might wing' of my community flexing its muscles throughout time.

Black survivability is historically precarious enough that arming ourselves has always been an option exercised by many community members.

Especially after the crack cocaine invasion and liberal colonization of our community before it.

The left would have community members believe all of our '2A' supporters were mesmerized to this position by conservatives swinging pocket watches before us until we were hypnotized.

Armed defense isn't a White conservative thing, no matter how much the left and some on the right spin it as exclusively their issue.

My second amendment support has nothing to do with White conservatives.

It has everything to do with valuing my life and others enough to create safety with whatever tactics and tools I choose--including firearms.

Liberals hate hearing us say we believe in armed defense.

If anything, their enabling of homegrown violent traitors and self-imported community invaders makes us talk about armed defense much more than usual. Lol
