The media’s shameful depiction of pro-Second Amendment protests in Virginia dailysign.al/2tEmX4I via @JarrettStepman @DailySignal
@JarrettStepman @DailySignal Ida B.Wells, a founder of the NAACP, said in 1892—a year in which a massive number of lynchings of black Americans took place—that “a Winchester rifle should have a place of honor in every black home, and it should be used for that protection which the law refuses to give.” 
@JarrettStepman @DailySignal “Let me tell you why I’m a defender of the Second Amendment,” Condoleeza Rice said. “I was a little girl growing up in Birmingham, Alabama, in the late ’50s, early ’60s. There was no way that Bull Connor and the Birmingham police were going to protect you.”
@JarrettStepman @DailySignal “I’m sure if Bull Connor had known where those guns were, he would have rounded them up,” Rice said. “So I don’t favor some things like gun registration.”
@JarrettStepman @DailySignal The bottom line is that associating the right to bear arms with anti-black racism is out of step with modern history. It was, in fact, an essential component of the civil rights movement.
