Wow, that is excellent and revealing reporting you did (even if you intend it). The older black men revealed the details that we need to understand today’s current environment of taking away guns, having the sheriff come to their door and seize their guns if they bought them. We just had an updated on the “Red Flag” decision of the Supreme Court that reflects what DeSantis signed in Florida, which will allows judges to take guns away from “dangerous” people, which translates into the sheriff arresting a “dangerous” looking black man and then recommending to the judge to seize his weapon. This is the same MO. It is not about taking guns away from white men who beat their wives, though that is helpful, but is really about justifying this conservative policy that will be used in Mississippi and Florida as an excuse to take away guns from black Americans in “high crime areas” (black areas).
Thank you for sharing that real history.
