Racist Gun-control Law in North Carolina Repealed

You would think the Liberals would celebrate. Republican Lawmakers Pass Repeal Of ‘Jim Crow’ Law, And Dems Are Seething

Or maybe not.

The law passed in 1919 was specifically meant, no matter what it said, to circumvent the 14th amendment, which meant that all gun control laws needed to be racially neutral.

The bill, SB 41, would repeal the state’s pistol purchase permit requirement that tasks local sheriffs with ensuring residents have “good moral character” before they are issued a firearm. The law, established in 1919, was intended to circumvent the Fourteenth Amendment in 1868, which required that gun control laws be racially neutral, according to attorney and historian options in the North Carolina Law Review.

So progressives are actually going on about how a Jim-Crow-era law is necessary to keep the good people of North Carolina safe. Really.

Today, black North Carolinians are still nearly three times as likely to be denied a permit compared to the white population, according to the North Carolina Law Review.

One Democrat is actually going on about how allowing law-abiding black citizens to own firearms will make black communities "less safe." Natalie Murdock doesn't seem to have much faith in law-abiding black citizen to, you know, obey the law.

What this will actually do is allow the law-abiding citizens of North Carolina to defend themselves from the non-law-abiding part of the population.
