Does McDonald decision go far enough to fight race-based forcible disarmament?
As I said when Washington's inmate voting prohibition was struck down, if denying an inmate the right to vote is "racist," because the inmate population is unfairly tilted racially, then denying an ex-convict an effective means of self-defense would have to be at least as egregious an example of racial injustice. Since I agree with National Gun Rights Examiner David Codrea, that any ex-convict so dangerous so as to be impossible to be trusted with a gun cannot be trusted to roam free among the populace without a keeper, I think Ms. Adams has something of a point.
