Chicago's Top Cop likens federal gun laws to 'racism' - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

Interesting. There's a big article in one of The NRA's magazines this month about how California's gun control laws are rooted in deep-seated racism against Asians.

Most libs don't understand that the first gun control laws in this country came about after the Civil War and were intended to keep newly freed slaves from owning guns.

The Moron in this story is taking a different slant though...

Top cop Garry McCarthy likens federal gun laws to ‘racism’

BY STEFANO ESPOSITO Staff Reporter June 24, 2011 12:56AM

Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy earlier this month told parishioners at St. Sabina’s Church that federal gun laws are akin to “government-sponsored racism.”

“I want you to connect one more dot on that chain of African-American history in this country, and tell me if I’m crazy: Federal gun laws that facilitate the flow of illegal firearms into our urban centers, across this country, that are killing black and brown children,” he said according to an WMAQ-Channel 5 story that aired Thursday.

McCarthy can be heard telling the congregation in the video about the NRA, “The NRA does not like me, and I’m OK with that.”

McCarthy went on to say that in the debate about gun control, there has to be “a recognition of who’s paying the price for gun manufacturers being rich and living in gated communities.”

McCarthy told parishioners an anecdote about a brutal night of killings in Newark, N.J., where he was previously head of the police department. McCarthy said that after he got home that night, he turn on the TV to relax, and tuned in to Sarah Palin’s Alaska.

“She was caribou-hunting and talking about the right to bear arms,” McCarthy said. “Why wasn’t she at the crime scene with me?”
