Tennesee’s outspoken African American female Senate candidate in 2014 spoke to Guns & Patriots about gun rights, racism, and the Bill of Rights.

“Gun control historically begins with blacks who were forbidden from owning guns,” said Brenda S. Lenard, a 2013 political science PhD candidate from the University of Tennessee and a resident of Kingston.

“It was very easy for slave owners to keep and control blacks with gun control,” she said.

Exactly. Look what happened when Django got one.

[Cigar]

So she is a ... Tennessee ... outspoken ... African American ... female ... Senate candidate .... for a future 2014 election.

Well ... obviously she speaks for ... a Women, who lives in Tennessee, who happened to be born Black, who someday would like to be a Senator.

Back then gun laws were the states doing. Also the owner of slaves would have some say in the matter.

And yet there were still armed rebellions by slaves so not sure what the point of this thread is.

It's obvious to me what's the point of this thread. :wink:

She is talking about Reconstruction.

That gun control leaves law abiding blacks defenseless?

[nic34]

Yeah, if only Travon had one, there'd been two dead guys....

[Mister D]

Travon was dumb enough to attack a man with a weapon. Bad move.

Anyway, most black victims of gun violence are killed or maimed by other blacks. Yeah, but it's more fun for you to wear a hoodie and buy yourself a pair of Trayvon underoos then to focus on a real problem.

She is not an official Senate candidate, she has not filed for office. A lot of people say they are running for office just to get publicity.

Since you know everything about Blacks being defenseless, as if you're somehow really concern, how would you explain a Black Person having more than enough in defense?

Think one or two got by you somehow? :)

Take your time on that one.

Looks like it worked like a charm.

I deleted the half-assed ad hominem and we are left with this. What are you asking?

[simpsonofpg]

I have never heard of the woman but she just got out of school with a PHD and we all know what that means. She knows the answers but is not quite up on the questions. I know what she is trying to say but in case she missed it salvery ended several years ago yet the black keep living with it. We all regret it happened but one thing I think she missed. Blacks in Africa that were from a stonger tribe captured and ensalved the weeker tribes and sold them to the traiders. Let not forget who started the mess.

Don't worry Cig, If she is elected, I am sure that you can come up with a female word for Uncle Tom! You know those conservative Black people that the left always try's to insult!

[zelmo1234]

Yeah, if only Travon had one, there'd been two dead guys....

Well if you would have taken the gun out of that picture, there still would ahve been one dead guy, just a different one!

[Private Pickle]

Sounds like wishful thinking to me...
