205. 2nd amendment has a far stronger racist history
From day one the RBKA didn't pertain to blacks and was the main defense against slave revolts---Jefferson's "firebell in the night", he so feared.

Today the Congressional Black Caucus, the NAACP and many black leaders and celebrities are on the NRA enemies list. Many pro gun rights groups and websites are noted for virulent racism. Charlton's Heston's seminal speeches have been hailed by racist's like David Duke and Ted Nugent. Support for stronger gun regulations is very strong in black communities and among blacks in the Democratic party. Support for the present progun administration is at historic lows among black voters with some polls coming in as low a 2% approval.
