This week’s Second Amendment rally in Richmond, Virginia, was a big disappointment … but not for those in attendance. More than 20,000 protesters marched peacefully in Virginia’s capital city in support of their constitutional right to keep and bear arms.
But for members of the Leftmedia, many of whom characterized the event as an uprising of violent white nationalists, the day was a stark reminder that they just don’t understand this country or its people.
Satya Marar attended the gun rally, and he writes at the Washington Examiner, “While white men certainly seemed to be the majority of protesters, many other kinds of people turned up to voice their concerns about gun control as well, such as women, blacks, and members of the gay community who see their basic right to self-defense as at risk.”
While the media wants Americans to think all card-carrying members of the NRA are rural white supremacists, the organization’s history proves otherwise.
“The NRA has historically opposed laws that were virtually tailor made to deny African-Americans the right to keep and bear arms,” says gun writer Sam Jacobs. “Many gun control laws to this day stem from the KKK’s fear of armed and independent minorities. The Rosewood Massacre in 1923 — a bloodbath led by a white mob that resulted in the destruction of an entire black community in Florida — was a clear example of how an armed black people could prevent future KKK raids.”

The media is so disingenuous. I am a gray beard and learned gun safety from my dad years ago and my family imparted a sense of sportsmanship and fair play. To suggest 2nd amendment protectors are white supremacists is ignorant and emboldens those of us who see through their veiled attempts to encourage altercations and mayhem.
If liking white pearl grip handles is racist, then I am racist
