OK, I know I'm race baiting, but there is just so much of it in the news lately I wanted to get in onto the fun. A lot of our gun restrictions were written to keep minorities disarmed.
You're joking, right???
but a lot the debate about on campus carry this legislative session seemed to center around A&M and UT the big high profile schools. The real need for the students and cadre to be able to protect themselves is at the inner city schools Such as U of H or community colleges. The media didn't pick up on these schools, where the real need was.
The specific law that I believe was racially motivated is the travelling law before the MPA. Clean cut white people would be seen as travelling while others who didn't fit the image, could be charged with the vagueries permitted under the law.
The folks who really need to be armed are the ones who typically don't arm themselves. Young adults. females, Minorities and and the elderly. Middle aged / middle income guys like myself tend to arm ourselves better than other groups
