Today’s rallies, like the one in Frankfort last month, will feature armed mobs, not mustered for any defensive purpose,

 but rather to use guns as expressive devices for speech purposes.  but the natural and organic outcome of a non gun-oriented rally being attended by persons independently exercising RKBA.

2: Guns are protected speech especially when used for protests-- just because they’re shocking doesn’t mean it isn’t protected

Since the election of Barack Obama, guns have appeared in the public square in a way unprecedented since the turbulent 1960s and ’70s 

The Supreme Court has also extended protection to hyperbolic and figurative speech even when it involves ostensibly threatening the president.

4: Violent hate crimes on campuses are on the rise

Across the nation, colleges and universities are experiencing hate — both hate crimes and less drastic incidents of bias — first-hand. 

So we shouldn't be surprised that some of the most conventional and brightest of our young people, those who attend colleges and universities, harbor these feelings of prejudice and bigotry."

6: The Self-defense of the oppressed is necessary to challenge the police and the state. The value of self-defense is key to challenging the logics of white supremacy.
Robert F. Williams—1962 (Negroes with Guns Detroit: Wayne State University Press)
When an oppressed people show a willingness to defend themselves, the enemy, who is a moral weakling and coward, is more willing to grant concessions and work for a respectable compromise. 

It is remarkable how easily and quickly state and local police control and disperse law- less mobs when the Negro is ready to defend himself with arms. (4-5)

7: The Black Panthers utilized armed self-defense to curb police brutality and to spread their ideology
Wood et al

The Panthers decided to take up their constitutional right to carry arms and to implement Malcolm X’s philosophy of self-defense, by patrolling the police. 

people felt empowered by seeing Black brothers and sisters protecting their interests.

8: Civil rights progression for blacks happened since black people were armed- gun control denies protection and a level of intimidation black people need to fight the white supremacists  
Blake 14
John Blake Does race shape Americans’ passion for guns? John Blake is a native of Baltimore, Maryland. He writes about race, religion, politics, and other assorted topics. 

"The civil rights movement was made possible because the Klan knew that black communities were armed," Cottrol says.

9: And this abstraction allows us to force racist entities to act justly rather than simply looking to how they have historically acted.
Curry 13

Traditionally we have taken ethics to be, as Henry Sidgwick’s claims, "any rational procedure by which we determine what individual human beings 'ought'—

  Under such complexities, the only ethical deliberation concerning racism must be anti-ethical, or a judgment refusing to write morality onto immoral entities.

10: Any question of gun control must deal with a conversation about white supremacy.
Cottrol and Diamond 1992
Robert J. Cottrol and Raymond T. Diamond—1992 (“Toward an Afro-Americanist Reconsideration of the Second Amendment,” Georgetown Law Journal 80 1992: 309-361). 

The  history  of  blacks,  firearms  regulations,  and  the  right  to  bear  arms should cause us to ask new questions regarding  the  Second  Amendment. 

that it is unwise to place the means of protection totally in the hands of the state, and that self-defense is also a civil right.

11: We must engage in a black self-defense paradigm. This paradigm insists that our discourse and our actions are centered on a value of black self-defense that endorses the need to understand how black people are victims of state tyranny and need to take matters to their own hands.
Curry 2015
 Tommy J. Curry—2015 (Associate Professor of Philosophy @Texas AandM University, “Robert F. Williams and Militant Civil Rights: The Legacy and Philosophy of Pre-emptive Self-Defense,” Radical Philosophy Review 18.1 2015: 45-68)
The foreigner laughed at Robert F. Williams when he described the “segregated pet cemetery in Washington D.C. where an Afro-American cannot bury his dog,” 

 Simply stated, “The racist is a man crazed with hysteria at the idea of coming into equal human contact with Negroes.” (64-65)\

And, The Framing
ROB: Best methodology to liberate the oppressed
This Methodology is to commit action working outside of ideal theory

Ideal theories abstract from the real-world and ignore its concrete nature—this legitimizes oppression—instead, debate should be about real world consequences
Curry 14 (Dr. Tommy J. Curry, “The Cost of a Thing: A Kingian Reformulation of a Living Wage Argument in the 21st Century”, Victory Briefs, 2014)

Despite the pronouncement of debate as an activity and intellectual exercise pointing to the real world consequences of dialogue, thinking,

 and the colonized (dignity, justice, fairness, rights, etc.) used to currently justify the living wages in under our contemporary moral parameters.

Their notions of ethics can’t articulate black life and allows whiteness to theorize about it.

I write out of a personal existential context.
