Armed minorites are harder to oppress.

Didn't the gun laws in California happen specifically after black Panthers open carried near a town hall?

Could be misremembering

Ya, and this is where they really started to fix the "armed minorities harder to oppress" bug...by making sure the gun possession of POC happened within their constraints. IE gang violence, drug war, commodity fetishism, rugged individualism all to replace grass roots organization and useful gun ownership. YN with the never ending need for for new NIKES, armed with the strap and slinging rock for cash is preferable to armed class conscious community organizers.
