Cobb.\r\n\r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/This-Nonviolent-Stuffll-Get-Killed/dp/082236123X\r\n\r\nIt's a fantastic book that lays out perfectly the necessity for firearms in self defense of Civil Rights leaders. Let's remember, they were breaking the law. The crazy gun control laws of the south were put in place to ensure that black people could not own guns. Many counties across the south required an affidavit from a white person for a black person to legally purchase a fire own. The white person had to swear that this was a responsible black person, who deserved to own a gun.\r\n\r\nStill today, NC requires \"purchase permits\" to even be able to BUY a handgun. The permit is given through the sheriff's department, and must be picked up in person at the sherrif's office. It is a Jim Crow law to stop black citizens from owning hand guns.\r\n\r\nAlso, read up on Deacons for Defense and Justice. They have a fascinating history, and provided a life saving service to the people of Louisiana. \r\n\r\nAnyway, I'll stop now, I could go on for hours.","subreddit_name":"liberalgunowners","author":"ChuckPaisley"},{"body":"For anyone who wants to hear more stories like this I recommend [This Nonviolent Stuff'll Get You Killed](https://smile.amazon.com/This-Nonviolent-Stuffll-Get-Killed/dp/082236123X), by Charles E.

It was not the only weapon King kept for such a purpose; one of his advisors remembered the reverend’s Montgomery, Alabama, home as \"an arsenal.\" Like King, many ostensibly \"nonviolent\" civil rights activists embraced their constitutional right to self-protection—yet this crucial dimension of the Afro-American freedom struggle has been long ignored by history.

If you live in a fucking *paradise* like New Zealand or Iceland?  Yeah, totally - though I'd still want the ability to own guns for hunting and marksmanship sports.\r\n\r\nBut America isn't like those places.  Just barely three months ago we had a group of fascists *attempt a coup* to overthrow our democratic election; they failed because they were all a bunch of incompetent morons, but what if they had succeeded?  Look at Myanmar; *those* assholes *did* succeed, and look at how it's going for those that are objecting to it.\r\n\r\nLook at the violence against trans and other LGBTQ folk.  Look at the spike in anti-Asian hate crimes.  Look at our nearly 150 years of institutionalized racism against Blacks, Latinos, and other minorities.  Look at, just last year, police officers deploying tear gas against *unarmed mothers and grandmothers* just linking arms and singing songs, look at federal police abducting protestors into unmarked vans.\r\n\r\nI'm sorry, dude, but not having guns can and absolutely literally *has* punished people, it's cost them their lives.\r\n\r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/This-Nonviolent-Stuffll-Get-Killed/dp/082236123X\r\n\r\nGive this book a read.
