[QUOTE="Riley, post: 3125737, member: 29196"] Still stand by this? "I had to politely add an asterisk to her comment. While it might have been written for all humans, black folk weren’t considered humans back then (as Justice Taney makes clear [URL='https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/60/393/case.html']in the Dred Scott decision[/URL], surely the founders did not want [I]those[/I] creatures having guns). Obviously, we’ve come a long way since then. But we can’t erase history, even when it’s ugly and uncomfortable. I think the gun community should be more vocal about stuff like this. It would lend us a lot more credibility with groups that are sometimes suspicious of the squeaky clean “guns are the great equalizer” mantra. Yes, it’s true. But it’s complicated." I believe it was 2/3 to limit the impact on voting in some areas. [/QUOTE]
