We are more oppressed.īarack Obama has said no “reasonable person” would want an assault rifle. Instead of a freer America after 50 years, thanks to the left’s vendetta against the Second Amendment, we are less free. Were he alive today, it wouldn’t be Jim Crow that was denying him a civil right, it would be the Democratic Party. He was a free American.Īnd yet, were he alive today, he would be less free than he was almost 50 years ago. He wasn’t a gun nut, he wasn’t a gang banger, he was a husband and a father. Here is this hero of the left, one of the paragons of progressives, and he felt that a military assault rifle, with high-capacity magazines, was the best way to defend his family. Just as they strip you of the ability to defend your home and family. The Democrat gun bans being foisted on this country today would strip Malcolm X of the ability to defend his home and family. It would be the government agents of Barack Obama and Andrew Cuomo. If Malcolm X were to stand in his Queens living room today, and be photographed holding that gun, it wouldn’t be white racists or black assassins he’d have to worry about, it would be the police. If Barack Obama was to meet his hero, no doubt he would tell him that no hunter needs 60 rounds for his gun. Malcolm X has one magazine in his gun, and the second is taped to the first, so that when the first was emptied the second could quickly be inserted in the gun. Under Obama’s law, each would likewise merit a separate federal felony charge. They are both 30-round high-capacity magazines and each of them is, under Cuomo’s new gun law, an E felony. The other two have to do with the magazines. It kind of makes you wonder about arguments from Cuomo and Obama that military weapons don’t belong in the hands of civilians. It is an M1 carbine, an infantry weapon designed for soldiers on the battlefield and, just 20 years before Malcolm X held his aloft, was carried by the millions in active combat. The gun is, under modern definition, an assault rifle. The other three felonies are new creations, enacted recently for the state of New York and proposed nationally by Barack Obama. He was looking outside his Queens, New York, home to keep watch, to make sure mobs or assassins were not approaching.Ī year after the picture was taken, on Valentine’s Day 1965, his house was firebombed and, carrying that rifle, he ran with his wife and children outside to safety.Īnd a week after that, on February 21, 1965, while giving a speech, with his family in the audience, Malcolm X was assassinated by a group of men from the Nation of Islam.īut let’s get back to the gun and the gun banners.Īs he stands with his rifle in that picture, Malcolm X is committing four felonies under the gun laws proposed by Barack Obama and enacted by Andrew Cuomo.Īs a convicted felon who had spent more than six years in prison for breaking and entering, it would today be a felony for him to own or handle a firearm. In the picture, Malcolm X is holding the gun in his right hand, and pulling back the blinds on his window with his left hand. A photograph that was in “Life” magazine in March of 1964 and again in “Ebony” in September of that same year. We know about Malcolm X’s gun because there is a famous picture of him holding it. Malcolm X had a gun, a gun he kept to defend his family, his home and himself.Ī gun that both Barack Obama and Andrew Cuomo would outlaw. The irony – or hypocrisy – of the left is that those who most worshipfully speak of men like Malcolm X are the most adamant about passing laws that would have made him a felon and imprisoned him for most of his life. Malcolm X is seen by some as a great defender of equality and liberty, as a voice against oppression.Ī man who, fundamentally, wanted nothing more than to be free.Ī man who, under the laws of Democrats like Barack Obama and Andrew Cuomo, would be sent to prison if he were alive today. Should people be allowed to own assault rifles and high-capacity magazines?īarack Obama has said that Malcolm X was a foundation of his personal philosophy, a shaper of how he thought and, consequently, how he has lived.
