In which Ms. Marcotte shows her ignorance:
Via Hogewash:
Where to begin? The modern civil right movement dates from the 1950s. The Second Amendment is a part of the Bill of Rights from 1789. How is it a response to something that came about a century-and-a-half later?
And what about the white NRA members who ran firearm training classes for blacks who wanted to protect themselves from the Klan in the ’50s and ’60s? I guess they don’t fit the narrative.
UPDATE–Stacy McCain blogs at The American Spectator that per Ace’s Marcotte Rule that any controversy relating to the Aurora shootings is now over.
She should read Justice Thomas’s concurrence in McDonald v. City of Chicago described here if only she could open her mind.
