As promised: The history of our racist gun laws and a history of the Second Amendment, beginning with our first gun laws and Slave Patrols and ending with white-power militias.
I expanded, added sources, and edited my thread from a few days ago.

@TheBlackHoof I’m the weirdo staring out my windows watching everyone park badly too. I bring it up enough that things have actually improved over the last few years.
Sweetie, that Benjamin Franklin quote is from a letter he wrote to the PA state legislature, urging them to make a wealthy family pay its fair share in taxes. The family tried to buy off the legislature for longterm exemption. Franklin was having none of it. You are welcome.
Two years after the murder of George Floyd, the Canadian government says it will soon order the RCMP to ban the use of tear gas, rubber bullets and neck restraints. https://t.co/0hWFcfs6Eo
Russia conducting "education genocide" against Ukraine - education Ombudsman Horbachov
Kids can't study b/c of war, destroyed schools. In occupied territory, Russians ban Ukrainian language, history, books, force teachers to adopt 🇷🇺 propaganda curriculum https://t.co/BArknvM8gz
what really strikes me about the painting is Saturn's expression of surprise
he is surprised to be eating his child
bewildered, but he doesn't stop devouring his child
and I know a country that lives that way https://t.co/uA00zssxId
I’ll be on CNN in a couple minutes discussing how we are doing a second march for all Americans as part of the movement to end gun violence june 11 Everyone needs to join us, we agree more than we disagree. We all want kids and adults to be safe in their schools and communities.
and as time passes note how hard it will be to call upon this as a memory with others, the way people will treat it like it's some sort of conspiracy theory, like you know suspiciously or distastefully much about it. the psychic investment in disavowing what cops are is very real
on a personal level you won't go wrong viewing police as the biggest gang around, one with effective impunity to kill you at any moment. on a social level, you won't go wrong seeing all our copaganda and blue lives fetishism as both reinforcing and disavowing this obvious fact
@charlielangton @BLUE_W0LVERINE @WWJ950@FOX2News This needs to be countrywide for schoolgoers to protest. These children have the right to safety, security, freedom from constant fear, and the right to be able to live their precious lives. In America, that's not guaranteed. Protest until these lawmakers are forced to act.
