GOPDD: Sheriff Clarke: Slavery Finally Ended Because Blacks Were Armed

By Jen - Mar 11, 2016

(CNSNews) Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. used a recent discussion on criminal justice reform to draw a connection between the end of slavery and the Second Amendment, saying, “the abolition of slavery was inevitably due to the arming of blacks.”
Appearing at a panel on criminal justice reform at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in National Harbor, Md., on March 3, Clarke cited the writings of 19^th century abolitionist and writer Frederick Douglass in support of gun ownership by fugitive and freed slaves.
