Going to borrow this on the subject:
...I understand a lot of people like to cite the black codes who promote gun restrictions, who would -otherwise, they would be garlic in front of a vampire in front of them. But, here, they -they like them, they embrace them. And I'm really interested in why.
I'm sure he knows why, so do I: they hate the commoners having arms without some kind of government permission slip, and they'll use anything they can think of to restrict that....I understand a lot of people like to cite the black codes who promote gun restrictions, who would -otherwise, they would be garlic in front of a vampire in front of them. But, here, they -they like them, they embrace them. And I'm really interested in why.
That link has some real interesting commentary, which includes people claiming "Well, THIS part of the Black Codes were not racist!"
I repeat, they'll use any argument they think they can get away with to try to get rid of as much of the 2nd as they can.

For shame. Not just this current colliquy about black codes, but the various attempts to dance around the main.
They may be dancing to different tunes, 'common purpose' here, 'historical tradition' there, but they're all dancing.
Shall not be infringed. Here is the beginning and the end. Shall not be infringed. They are spending far too much time trying to ignore that which is right in front of their beady little eyes.
With equal parts of increduality and amusement we ridicule those theologians who had busied themselves arguing how many angels could dance on the head of a pin.
Alleged learned scholars in consideration of such meaningless metaphor worthy of the highest form of mockery.
Yet today we see these -ahem - learned legal scholars arguing pretty much the same.
Idiocracy is too intellectual. Here we see yet another proof that society is sinking into the medieval age.
The question now is which will come first, the end of 1,000 years of darkness, or Christ's return?
I’m convinced that KBJ thinks the Black Codes are called that because (in her mind) they were passed by black lawmakers in the immediate aftermath of the Civil War, and therefore they were good legislation.
