"If Blacks Had Guns, They Would Not Have Been Slaves"
There's absolutely nothing wrong with this quote and it's the true. But you guys seem to get offended over every little thing.

but the CAC's had guns so they made them slaves
Africans were trading the tribes they conquered so how would having guns stopped the slave trade?

The original quote was the truth. Unfortunately black people in Africa were unorganized and allowed the white devils to exploit them.

I don't know about slavery, but this was a key point in a lot of Civil Rights groups, especially in the NOI, Black Panthers, etc..
They realized the immediate benefit of arming themselves legally.

Why do people act like slaves ONLY came from Africa?. The slaves were also born here. There were slaves in America for HUNDREDS OF YEARS. As soon as a mother had her baby, it could have been sold off. If the slaves born here had access to guns, and books, you damn right they would have stopped the shyt or at least made it hard to do. Why do you think people were scared when they were freed?. They thought they were going to get payback, that's why they made it hard for blacks to get guns after that, and finding ways to put them in prison.
Laws Designed To Disarm Slaves, Freedmen, And African-Americans
"After the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1878, most States turned to “facially neutral” business or transaction taxes on handgun purchases. However, the intention of these laws was not neutral. An article in Virginia’s official university law review called for a “prohibitive tax … on the privilege” of selling handguns as a way of disarming “the son of Ham”, whose “cowardly practice of ‘toting’ guns has been one of the most fruitful sources of crime … .Let a negro board a railroad train with a quart of mean whiskey and a pistol in his grip and the chances are that there will be a murder, or at least a row, before he alights.” [Comment, Carrying Concealed Weapons, 15 Va L. Reg. 391, 391-92 (1909); George Mason University Civil Rights Law Journal, Vol. 2, No. 1, “Gun Control and Racism,” Stefan Tahmassebi, 1991, p. 75] Thus, many Southern States imposed high taxes or banned inexpensive guns so as to price blacks and poor whites out of the gun market."
1825 Florida Slave and free black homes searched for guns for confiscation. “An Act to Govern Patrols,” 1825 Acts of Fla. 52, 55 - Section 8provided that white citizen patrols “shall enter into all Negro houses and suspected places, and search for arms and other offensive or improper weapons, and may lawfully seize and take away such arms, weapons, and ammunition …” Section 9 provided that a slave might carry a firearm under this statute either by means of the weekly renewable license or if “in the presence of some white person.” (Id.)
