    A reminder that the push for gun control legislation in California started under Reagan in response to the Black Panthers arming themselves and cop watching back in the 60s. And was supported by the NRA, in case you ever thought they might not have had a racist undercurrent at any point on their history.

    History repeats, roughly every 80 years or so as the generation that experienced the events directly all die off. A little early this time, but…

    We have the Black Panthers in Minnesota now watching the cops yet again.
