Al Sharpton shows unreasonableness of anti-gun zealotry

[mrjarrell]

David Codrea takes a look at Sharpton's latest epistle on the McDonald case. Seems he just can't deal with armed black people defending themselves. What a sad little man.

"[W]hen the Supreme Court ... overruled Chicago's ban on handguns, they literally opened the floodgates for a drastic rise in shootings, instability and homicide in a country that already leads the way in lethal violence," Al Sharpton writes in The Wilmington Journal.

With its incomprehensible growth in homicides and violence, Chicago became the forefront for advocates to create some semblance of change and hope in the troubled city. And as the highest court sets us back in the fight for justice and peace, the focus is again back on the distressed streets of the windy city.
​

Good grief. If anything, that should prove the futility of prohibition. What's incomprehensible is to keep going back to what can't work.

Do read the rest at the source. There's also a video there (unrelated to Mr. Sharpton), that some folks might like.

I'll bet Sharpton and others like him who make their money race baiting, oppressing the people they claim to represent, and screaming racism at every turn sincerely hope people don't see a picture of Mr. Otis McDonald....

Perhaps he should have used, "illiterately"?

According to the leader of the New Black Panthers on Fox news today...it isn't black people buying guns, its the white people setting record highs for gun sales because of Glenn Beck, Shawn Hannity an others stirring things up....bla, bla, bla,....so I guess Al should chill since the blacks must not be buying any.....?.....Besides everyone knows Obama is the National Firearms Salesman of the Year.

You got that right. Sharpton and these other preachers are in this for the money and notoriety/TV time they get. The more crap they stir up the more money they make. If they can't get on TV or the radio, they're irrelevant.
