Gun Prohibition


Well done classic article

Linking almost without comment.


But while I am linking, I do want to draw attention to this paragraph.

Prejudice and discrimination against ethnic groups persist. While United States gun control advocates do not complain much about Irish immigrants with guns, they do warn about the dangers of Blacks armed with "ghetto guns." The derisive term for inexpensive handguns, "Saturday Night (p.406)Specials," has a racist lineage to the term "niggertown Saturday night."[36] The phrase "niggertown Saturday night" apparently mixed with the nineteenth century phrase "suicide special," which is a cheap single action revolver, to form "Saturday night special."

Gun control is and always has been a civil rights issue. That's why many libertarians (like me) call it victim disarmament.
