Another great story about the importance of 2nd Amendment

Post by nitrogen »

We all read these stories, and there are tons.

I wanted to post this one mostly because of where it comes from:

http://www.dailykos.com
By the mid-1950's the Civil Rights Movement was gaining momentum and the KKK decided they had to fight back. Their campaign of terrorism swept through many of the southern states, but largely fell flat in North Carolina.
James W. "Catfish" Cole, the Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan in South Carolina, decided he was going to change that. Cole was an ordained minister of the Wayside Baptist Church in Summerfield, North Carolina, who regularly preached the Word of God on the radio. His rallies often drew as many as 15,000 people. As Cole told the newspapers: "There's about 30,000 half-breeds up in Robeson County and we are going to have some cross burnings and scare them up."
Read the rest of the story, It's great.

I am normally 100% diametrically opposed to anything that comes out the Koslings, and I find that most of them are truly deranged; but I have been pleasantly surprised in the past year or so to see that some of them actually understand the 2nd Amendment.

Great story, thanks.

I did a couple of jobs over a 30 year span at Ft. Bragg, NC. The Lumbees are a real, proud and viable people of the area. Oxendine and Locklear are still very prominent names in the Lumbee community.

Georgiacarry.org submitted an amicus curaie brief in the Heller case.

It's a great read on the racist roots of gun control- http://www.georgiacarry.com/Heller/07-2 ... aCarry.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
