I can't say that I agree with him

"I believe Gun Appreciation Day honors the legacy of Dr. King. I think Martin Luther King, Jr. would agree with me if he were alive today that if African Americans had been given the right to keep and bear arms from day one of the country's founding, perhaps slavery might not have been a chapter in our history."
—Gun Appreciation Day founder Larry Ward

Five people were injured by accidental discharges at Gun Appreciation Day events on Saturday by peopleidiot gun owners (there are smart gun owners) who didn't know how to unload a gun before transporting it to a gun show.

I do totally agree with him on one thing: if slaves had been armed we wouldn't have had slavery as a chapter in our history. Jefferson and Washington would be dead and this country wouldn't be called the United States of America. I don't know what it would be called, but it wouldn't be the USA.
