[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1343942, member: 14668"] Good for them. A black man who lived in Alabama in 1960 had the right to vote according to the 15th Amendment of the Constitution. However...he was totally prevented from exercising that right by poll taxes, literacy tests, and other "reasonable, common sense" restrictions that were put in place by whites with the specific intention of disenfranchising blacks. Law abiding people in cities like Chicago and Washington DC have faces similar "reasonable, common sense" obstacles when trying to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights. It took a Supreme Court ruling to force Chicago and Washington DC to allow their residents to keep handguns in their own homes for protection, a right that is still restricted by odious and expensive licensing requirements.
