19and41; I purchased my S&W 586 In '82 from a Gun Dealer in Lakewood, and because the Shop was located in The City Limits of Atlanta, Which meant I was to had go downtown to the Fulton Sheriffs Office to be finger printed and undergo a background check.

This was all before the Brady Bill and the Instant Background Check. It so happens, the owners had another location in Dekalb County, and I simply pick up the gun there ;D.

What has happened in Atlanta, is happening to Clayton County.

This all started with Maynard Jackson as The Mayor of Atlanta.

Since 1976, it has been illegal for people with firearms licenses to carry firearms in public airports in Georgia, until this year. Georgia joined 48 other states on July 1, 2008, when a law passed this year took effect, making it legal once again for people with licenses to carry firearms to carry them in Georgia airports.

Why Blacks Tend To Support Gun Control

Larry Pratt

The conversion of Rev. Lee Peterson is a remarkable story. A black sharecropper's son, he ended up in Los Angeles. There, he fell under the spell of the teachings of the Nation of Islam and other hate-based doctrines of the Jesse Jackson's of the world.

When Peterson became a Christian, he came under conviction that hatred had no place in his thinking. Hatred was simply the tool used by too many black leaders to convince blacks that their troubles were somebody else's fault. Peterson has issued a fearless call to the black community to set aside hatred, accept responsibility for their own situation and get to work.

His call begins with a trenchant attack on the self-appointed leaders whose tactics he labels with the title of his recent book, Scam. Included in the list are Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton (the riot king) and Louis Farakhan (an American Hitler).

Hatred is the "glue" that has been used by many black leaders -- preachers and politicians alike -- to keep blacks on the plantation. Peterson cites what Ezola Foster, a black conservative pro-family leader learned while she was still a Democrat. Namely, the thug that founded the Soviet Union, Valdimir Lenin, understood the power of hatred: "We must hate. Hatred is the essence of communism."

I was tracking Self Defense Legislation, when I ran into an odd fact that almost every Black Politician, Clergyman, Legislator, Civic Leader, and Civil Rights Activist opposed most legislation aimed toward self defense rights, while supporting that legislation which opposes the current laws we have on self defense rights; That's when I stumbled upon the Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson.

One thing I already know is, Hate and Firearms do not go well together in our Society. Could this be why most Black Leaders and many members of the Democrat Party are against the Right to have Weapons for Self Defense ?

In Other Words;This is I look way the Democrats look at it; Don't Teach a Society of People Hate, In Order To Secure Their Vote, and Then Deny Them the Right to Bear Arms.
