Black leaders discuss how the NRA was created to protect freed slaves
http://youtu.be/9RABZq5IoaQ
Black conservative leaders discuss how the NRA was created to protect freed slaves - SHORT VERSION
Black conservative leaders discuss the reason the NRA was founded and how gun control is an effort to control people.
The
Center for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE) hosted a group of
prominent figures from the African American community at 9:45A.M. on
Friday, February 22nd at the National Press Club to speak out against
gun control legislation currently being considered on Capitol Hill.
CURE is the largest black conservative think tank in the nation and is headquartered in Washington, D.C.
CURE
organized the news conference in response to concerns shared by black
conservatives that the Senate proposed laws will restrict their ability
to defend themselves, their property and their families. They are also
concerned that the proposed gun control legislation puts too much power
in the hands of politicians.
"I believe that it is our duty to
stand together and challenge the proposals currently on the table in the
Senate, which invoke painful memories of Jim Crow laws and black
codes," said CURE president and founder, Star Parker. "Black history is
rife with government demands for background checks in order to qualify
for constitutional rights. All Americans should be concerned."
Star
Parker, a nationally syndicated columnist and other noted thought
leaders, authors and speakers will make the case against the type of gun
control measures President Obama and his liberal allies are proposing.
While the group believes that Sandy Hook was a national tragedy, they
oppose its use as an opportunity to advance government control and strip
any American citizens of their constitutional rights. In the middle of
Black History Month, CURE is calling for a serious national dialogue
about the impact of gun control on the black community.
"We
want to inform United States senators that we will be notifying urban
pastors, business leaders and other black voters of their legislators'
position on the Second Amendment—especially blue senators in red states
currently up for re-election." The news conference is to rally behind
the tradition of former slave and great American orator Frederick
Douglass who said, "A man's rights rest in three boxes: the ballot box,
the jury box, and the cartridge box."
DAFR fights for the
inalienable firearms rights of responsible disabled Americans. Disabled
Americans have unique needs when exercising their 2nd Amendment rights.
The mission of DAFR is intertwined within five basic areas of focus.
These areas consist of:
1. The introduction of firearms for self-defense to disabled Americans.
2. Shooting sports program and organized competition for disabled Americans and wounded veterans.
3. Oversee firearms legislation and research their impact on Americans with disabilities.
4. Offer assistance to responsible disabled Americans in order to exercise their 2nd Amendment right.
5.
Educating the public and elected officials about how disabled American
firearms owners have unique needs that must be met when exercising their
2nd Amendment right.
We have also become concerned with
recent legislation that is proposed throughout the United States in
reaction to the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut. With that, our
organization has taken a clear stand on various bills, public acts and
proposed laws that we deem would be disadvantageous to responsible
disabled firearms owners. DAFR intends to shed light on the fact that
many Disabled Americans can only use certain types of firearms such as
the highly adaptable AR15 rifle platform. A ban or other serious
restrictions on the AR15 rifle as well as certain other firearms will
have an adverse effect on the rights of thousands of disabled Americans.
