Gun Control Groups
Join Black Lives Matter
by AWR Hawkins 20 Oct 2015
Various gun control groups
are partnering with Black Lives Matter in an effort to push gun
control in Congress, Politico reports.
It is the latest partnership for Black Lives Matter, which
is also working with the radical Council on American-Islamic Relations
(CAIR).
The news of Black Lives Matter’s alliance with gun control
groups comes as Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti was forced to flee a town hall meeting Monday evening when Black
Lives Matter protestors rushed the podium. They later prevented his police
escort from leaving.
One of the groups joining in the new gun control partnership
with Black Lives Matter is Michael Bloomberg-funded Everytown for Gun Safety;
another is “a group related to” the George Soros-funded Center for American Progress;
and another is the Joyce Foundation–a group that funds gun
control efforts. There are other groups involved, but these three are playing
central roles.
According
to Politico, the goal is to operate with Black Lives Matter to
expand the gun control dialogue so as to include inner city violence–and to
diversify the public image of gun control advocacy.
The gun control groups are looking for “a way to
address the reality that urban blacks and Hispanics are disproportionately
victims of gun violence.” And as Black Lives Matter helps Everytown and/or the
Joyce Foundation work towards that goal, gun control groups will return the
favor by sharing messages against the over-incarceration of blacks and
Hispanics.
To make this doable, gun control groups are changing the
language they use to prevent minorities from being insulted. The gun control
groups have observed that “Black and Hispanic lawmakers have been some of the top
supporters of more gun restrictions in Congress,” but the constituents for
these lawmakers have not rallied to support the gun control movement.
The groups theorize that this is due to the differences in
culture evidenced by word choices and approach styles.
For example, groups like Everytown are being told that their
push to expand background checks to keep guns “out of the hands of
dangerous people and criminals” can alienate blacks by making them feel they
are being labeled “dangerous” and/or “criminal.”
Instead, Everytown is being encouraged to say they want
expanded background checks in order to keep guns “out of the hands of people
convicted of violent or gun-related crimes.” These changes are actual “talking
points” which are being passed between groups in light of the new partnership
with Black Lives Matter.
The gun control groups are also being told that too much
support for police
can alienate minorities.
