Okay, so my husband and I were watching Hardball last night, and Chris Matthews played this clip, at which point we looked at each other with our jaws agape, and then immedialtely burst into laughter.You can now add Larry Ward, chairman of Gun Appreciation Day, to the list of gun advocates who need to keep their frikkin mouths shut.Ward was recently on CNN to defend Gun Appreciation Day on Jan. 19, a one-day call for folks to support their local gun and ammo dealers. (It's like Chic-fil-A day, but instead of rallying around a bunch of homophobes, you're supposed to exercise your Constitutional right to ignore the "well-regulated milita" part of the the Second Amendment.)Unfortunately, things didn't work out as planned for Ward. Instead of winning converts with his winning words, he just ended up inserting his foot in his mouth and fellating his stinky piggies.Here's what he said:I think Martin Luther King, Jr. would agree with me if he were alive today that if African Americans had been given the right to keep and bear arms from day one of the countrys founding, perhaps slavery might not have been a chapter in our history.Watch the video here.Should we have given African Americans the right to keep and bear arms BEFORE or AFTER we removed their shackles?Let us not forget that then Governor Ronald Reagan signed the Mulford Act in 1967, prohibiting the public carrying of loaded firearms in California, when it was African Americans who wanted the right to KABA.
