Maryland
is profiling African American gun owners. Using Maryland state police and
surrounding departments, they are illegally stopping African American men who
leave ranges, gun shows and gun stores. They have contacted some stores and
strongly �suggested� that these places �alert� them when you make a
purchase. I have personally listened to three accounts from victims of this
abuse since January. These brothers were watched and followed by undercover
Maryland State Police and then pulled over by whatever local department you
ended up at.
If you leave a gun show, for example, with a brown bag, and it appears that you
made a purchase, this could happen to you. Maryland is trying to strong-arm you
into giving up your guns, your hobby, your rights, and your freedom. Don�t be
the victim of an accidental police shooting just from buying a copy of �Black
Man With A Gun� from our supporters like, Silverado Gun Shows, Realco Guns,
Schelin Guns or On-Target Range. Black men beware!
Is this new? Hell no! African Americans are the �ball� in the gun control
game. We will continue to be played until we stop it. Since 1751, states like
Louisiana, required colonists to stop any black carrying a potential weapon,
such as a cane. If the brother refused to stop on demand, the colonist was
authorized to �shoot to kill�. Racism
is so tied to the gun control argument that it hides in plain sight. Gun
ownership is not wrong. Having the right to defend yourself is a right even
animals have. We will lose the rights in the US Constitution unless you are
start defending them. Maryland residents check out http://www.mcdl.org

Help Stop This Abuse
If you get pulled over in a Sting, you will be
outnumbered and out gunned. Comply with the directions of the police. Turn on
every light your vehicle has. Let this be a signal to other pro-gun brothers and
sisters that you need witnesses. When you see someone pulled over by a multitude
of police officers and the occupants have all their lights on, pull over in a
safe area, away from the police where you can safely observe. Then turn your
lights on so that the victim knows you have his back. Record everyone�s tag
number and get as much information as you can.
If you can�t meet with the brother that was
pulled over, send the information to me so that I can be the central depository
for hooking up victims and witnesses. Police need probable cause to search your
car without your consent. If you can stomach the time loss, the process, the
suspicion, go the distance and do not consent to a search of your car without a
warrant.
The only way we can stop this madness is to
stand up for the few rights we have left. Don�t continue to let others fight
your fight. Until then, brothers and sisters watch you back! Pass this on to
every brother and sister you know.
