I would like to direct everyone’s attention to a truly excellent article by Marcus Cole, entitled A Word of Thanks to Four Black Men and A Gun. It addresses that author’s family’s experience with a violent racist attack, their resulting decision to buy a self defense gun, and historical and recent events centering on gun ownership and race. Also included is a summary of the history of the privileges or immunities clause in the federal constitution, and Justice Thomas’ use of this clause in his opinion in McDonald v. Chicago.
My thanks to JD for pointing out this article.
I find no words for a comment; I think Mr Cole has just about said it all.
