[@graymatrrocks]

Read the book "A Peoples History of the United States." Lots of history that is omitted from education.

[@DelverRootnose]

It's often important not to forget that history in school is divided between american, state and local history through various grades. It's eeked out in bits to suit the grade levels. Anything beyond that is floated to elective classes one can take in high school and beyond. While it's important to be inclusive about the good and bad in US and state history, there is a lot of it and to decry missed opportunities that we, we could have, ourselves missed out of in learning this stuff, is on us. This in-depth history is available in school, if only as an elective. If one to ignore the many options in university, well that's because we really didn't care, and that has to be learned this way, or by our elders.

The Lumber people are very interesting and have an amazing history of self betterment and growth. They have had a history of independence when many native peoples did not. From the 1500"s onward they were never subjected the the level of outside control that most others were. They had their own bank and their own university. Most were literate long before most other native people were. And the Lumbees were often looked on and accepted as regular members of society long before others. Thanks for letting me rant on. Peace

My state has a law requiring you to go to the Sheriff and get a permit to buy a pistol. It is a Jim Crow law that is still on the books. My Father kept his first pistol permit as a memento. On it, part of the text says that the permit holder is "known to the Sheriff to be of good character." In reality, it was a way to prevent Black people from buying guns. Most of my state's Legislature was elected in part because of their supposed pro gun stance, but there has been no move whatsoever to get rid of this Jim Crow law.

@Aniquin NC also for a while was one of the states that required you to either get permission or inform (forgot which) your CLEO of machine gun purchases regardless of what the current federal legislation was at the time (ie: trust could avoid CLEO). actually, that still might be the case, NC isn't an incredibly pro-gun state but it's still not as bad as like NJ, NYC, or Cali. it's honestly just not a good state overall. too many people, not enough land, cities aren't *really* cities, humid, income tax, very much so a purple state with corrupt official on all sides, poorly funded public education system with many politicians being anti-education. the whole state I attribute to being like a "rural home owners association."

[@laureljefferys3041]

As a constitutional lawyer he takes it as given that American citizens living in the United States and its territories have a right to own firearms and he further affirms that the 2nd amendment is a recognition of a right to resist tyranny by other "arms" as well, which has been eroded by the paramilitarization of police to become enforcers of the state who firearms are simply insufficient to resist when they enforce tyranny. He has further affirmed that gun control without concommittant disarming of police has further eroded that right to resist tyranny. Here's him discussing it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/anLTiJhuiK2shbs And here's him outlining his views in writing: truthout.org/articles/ferguson-and-the-second-amendment/ He has been advocating this nuanced view of the 2nd amendment for years and he could use help spreading it further.

@Russian Bot #568984 Why would you defend the Klan of all groups?

This is fantastic content. Very well done. I've been watching inrange for a good while and it just gets better all the time, especially these historical presentations. Keep it coming Karl, good luck to you, I'm off to Patreon to give my support👍

Thanks a lot for covering moments like this in our history. If it doesn't fit the image that certain people want the US to be represented by, it somehow manages to fall through the cracks.

Came across this channel & it was refreshing to hear a gentleman speak justly to bring us together instead of divide us 👍🏿

[@hejtas1]

As a European I had an idea about the struggle for civil rights but never knew anything about battles like this. Thanks a lot Karl for bringing this to my attention and i hope you will continue this series, because i got no doubt there are more stories like this that deserves to more attention.

[@GrimrDirge]

I love the outcome of this story so much. Thanks for this important work.

[@36Spinflip]

A great source on stories like this is the book "Setting Sights - Histories and Reflections on Community Armed Self Defense", edited by Scott Crow. Lots of similar tales from the US and abroad.

[@haaake]

Absolutely love these videos and massive respect to you for making them. You are absolutely right about how so much of the gun industry promotes self defense and protecting yourself but completely ignores how important that is to the civil rights movement. Thanks for always being such an impartial presenter but still presenting meaningful content and clearly sharing your opinion in a meaningful way.

[@aaaneoseeker]

It’s delightfully ironic to hear that catfish’s family was aided home by the natives that opposed the Horrible, bigoted orgy. Warms my heart to hear about protests like these. full of powder kegs and few people are harmed and kindness is actually displayed by one side to the other. Score another for native Americans showing humility and compassion in the most disgusting backdrop.

[@MarkiusFox]

@Russian Bot #568984 A gathering that is organized for the purpose of inciting violence is not "peaceful", and SCotUS has ruled that it isn't protected by the first amendment either. To gather like that and announce the intention of such so publicly, and not expect community backlash in the defense of the people that were targeted, is naïvety of the highest caliber.

[@MarkiusFox]

@Russian Bot #568984 Oh, I'm sorry, the Klan must really be the most civil of pacifists to grace the Earth and would have politely asked the Lumbee tribe to vacate the Lumbee nation so that the land could be taken over by Whites. That's _certainly_ what was meant by "drive them out" and mentioning "race mixing" as a problem to be "solved". /s

They should have let the bitch walk all the way home in shame, and resent her Husband for abandoning her and her kids. No more pity, no more high road. Everytime we go high, they never get it. Until we wind up here again in 2020. Same problem, different appearance and terms, bug same damned problem. In fact I take that back....scum like them, should have been surrounded and doused in gas and burned. They're the disease if humanity. And anyone who escapes gets shot. They've done it to us countless times over, maybe if they felt tge terror they'd calm the hell down.

Awesome stuff Karl. I'm in the UK and we don't really have guns and certainly not the culture of arms like you do there. Regardless your fair and even way of addressing the issues surrounding weapons and and how they interconnect with civil rights infractions ('cos we definitely have those here) is fascinating. Thank you.

[@todorkolev7565]

@@pkz420 I don't think "everyone has" is a good strategy. I don't think it's working out for you guys in the USA, at all. BTW, my neighbor (I live in England) has 7 guns, 5 of which "Full bore" (powerful centerfire cartridge), one shutgun and a semi-auto 22 rifle. Not exactly "nothing" :)

[@johnnypopulus5521]

Shame, if you more guns you'd likely have less grooming gangs & Vans-of-Peace.

[@blitoris]

It would make exactly zero difference to those crimes if we still had access to firearms in the UK. You think the US doesn't have CSE rings because they have access to firearms?

[@kingemocut]

@@johnnypopulus5521 more firearms just means terrorists get easier access to said firearms. it's not impossible to own them in the UK, but they're very tightly controlled. there's a reason terrorists have to resort to machetes and vehicular methods for their attacks, thus meaning the body count is a lot less than what it could be. not only that, but there's not really a desire for firearms among the population. in fact, it's one of the issues that is pretty much agreed with between the vast majority, irregardless of politics.

[@johnnypopulus5521]

@@blitoris We do, like the whole Epstein thing but they're run by the elite for the elite & they suicide the procurors before they can say anything. The police here actually do things to stop them instead of ignoring it because "they dont wanna seem racist". We also, this is not an endorsement, have vigilantes who will use firearms to be rid of those types, again, that is not an endorsement of such actions.

I have no clue why this randomly showed up in my feed, but am I ever glad it did. I am a Yankee transplant from the horrid state of CT that moved to North Carolina about five years ago. I have come to realize that I was raised in the wrong part of the country. I work for an armed courier service and my routes take me through Pembroke, Red Springs, Fairmont, St. Paul's.......the heart of this very Lumbee nation. Interact with these fine people all the time. Many people in these areas are "poor", but they have a wealth we should all strive to attain. I can't really describe sufficiently, the friendliness and love they have for each other and I always feel welcome, like welcome in a way as if I was I lifelong friends or family, even though I'm just a guy who shows up to provide a service. And, if I may be so bold, the Lumbee women I interact with are beautiful beyond belief! I'm so happy that when I return to this area tomorrow, I will do so knowing a little more about the bravery of a people I already have admiration and respect for.

[@JohnRutherford205]

Karl, I've been supportive(or rather, as supportive I can be) of InRange as a project since the very beginning. Some of my favorite content has always been the historical vignettes, and this has to be my favorite one so far. I can't wait to see what you've got in store for us. Thank you for putting out this content. I am a professionally trained historian. Throughout ten years of higher education, I didn't learn about this type of history until graduate school, and even then in only a few courses. I can count them all on one hand. This type of American history is vastly more important on balance, I think, than what is typically taught in the standard survey classes that so many of our nation's students take for a semester and totally forget later on. Historical literacy is so incredibly important, and it's incredible that you're doing this work. Please, keep it up.

[@singer6843]

Karl, I seriously appreciate your dedication to American history. You continue to fill the gaps in the set history we've all been taught.

Gun laws have always been written to keep firearms away from the "wrong" kind of people.

[@Spetulhu]

And in the hands of the "right" people. Pointing out that Hitler made it hard or impossible for Jews and other undesirables to own guns is correct, but he also made it easier for "true Aryans" to get guns. A dictator can't win just by taking guns away, he needs armed people on his side (who then take the guns from the undesirables).

[@neurofiedyamato8763]

@@Spetulhu Hitler got in to power and started rounding up Jews before any gun laws were in place. In fact Nazi gun laws weren't strict at all, quite the opposite. Firearms as a self-defense against criminal is quite valid but is wholly out-dated when it comes to tyrannical governments. We aren't living in a time where the army is using similar weapon as civilian firearms. And modern military weapon is very complex that your average citizen would not know how to use competently if at all. OP is correct. Gun laws, in the past, today and in the future have always been about putting it in the right hands and keeping it away from the wrong hands. Laws have to strike a balance, where that balance lies is a point of contention. Whenever a gun law proposal is made, pro-gun people think it's complete removal of guns when that is not the case if you look at the finer details. The opposite is true, when gun laws are relaxed, the anti-gun people think it is supporting anarchy. The reality is that laws are changed to match the times we live in to strike that balance. We can strike that perfect balance but people will never be satisfied because everyone's opinion is different, even among the same camps.

There’s 550 million firearms in world wide circulation, that’s one gun for every 12 people. The only question is, how do we arm the other 11?

[@vanboy5697]

Way way more than that indeed, it's just not for the civilians to use. As a conscript, me and my peers were obligated to carry a fully automatic HK rifle, learn how to use a FN machine gun etc. to guard the country's borders for free, as a civilian rifled firearms are not even an option for a hunting license and smoothbores require limited time licenses.
