Has it occurred to anyone that we’ve had this conversation as a society in America every 10 years for the last 50 years? Did everyone skip being awake in every society class? {Insert a single individual with narrow legislative power} isn’t destroying democracy by themselves. The people with all the money have us divided by race, religion, and poverty lines and they keep watching us do nothing about it.

On this day, 2 May 1967, a group of Black Panthers armed with rifles and shotguns marched into the California State Capitol protesting against a gun control bill which was targeting them. To fight police violence and harassment against African-Americans, the Panthers used radios to listen to police calls, then members would attend scenes of arrest with law books and openly carrying shotguns – which was legal – and advise arrestees of their constitutional rights. To stop this self defence against the police, authorities brought in the Mulford Bill – dubbed the “Panther Bill” by the media – to ban the open carrying of loaded firearms in public. The National Rifle Association supported Republican governor Ronald Reagan in signing the legislation.
