The funny part of all of this is that it's not even really a pro-gun or pro-RKBA article.
The whole point seems to be "
MLK & Co had guns to defend themselves. So therefore they were not supernatural saints, but were real flawed flesh-n-blood people that put their pants on one leg at a time, as witnessed by all the gawdawful bludthirsty moider-macheen gunz they had, just like the evil racists. And that by deifying them, you're denying their humanity."-or some such tripe.
So to my eyes, the whole article is just another spin at the whole "
MLK slept around, he was a complex man.. woo-hoo, look at my edgy writing!"-thing.
Sort of like a play on the femynst meme that women defending themselves actually bolsters "rape culture", because a woman shooting a rapist somehow detracts from the kumbyah notion that not shaving armpits, burning bras, beating drums, and generally being insufferable PITA's at college campuses to simply "end all rape" is better.
Although, sucks for the women waiting in the meantime I guess.
