I thought this illustrated article was both informative and droll.

Good article , so good I wonder how it was allowed on KOS.

Resolved gun control is demonstrably racist .

1) by its history
2) by its present effect


This author seems unaware of any case of White persons ever being shot by mistaken police, but this is a sort of minor bias that is hard to avoid.

KOS is not like Fox, it does not censor articles.

The bit about the Black guy who was ordered to drop a golf club is classic. No cop would order a White guy to drop a golf club unless he was swinging it in a threatening manner.

The idea is that Black guys should not have golf clubs, unless they are Tiger Woods.
A Black colleague of mine owned an S Class Mercedes and got stopped all the time by White cops who obviously did not think he had any business owning a Mercedes S Class, even a ten year old one.
