Liberals try to make MLK anti-gun

Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, and liberals can’t wait to start rewriting history.

YAY: MLK DAY TODAY

What would Martin Luther King Jr. say about the proliferation of gun violence in the U.S. today? It’s impossible to know, but the words of a man who was himself a victim of gun violence may give us a hint.

“I believe that even amid today’s mortar bursts and whining bullets, there is still hope for a brighter tomorrow. I believe that wounded justice, lying prostrate on the blood-flowing streets of our nations, can be lifted from this dust of shame to reign supreme among the children of men.” — excerpt from his Nobel Prize acceptance speech.

Here’s the truth:

Most people think King would be the last person to own a gun. Yet in the mid-1950s, as the civil rights movement heated up, King kept firearms for self-protection. In fact, he even applied for a permit to carry a concealed weapon.

A recipient of constant death threats, King had armed supporters take turns guarding his home and family. He had good reason to fear that the Klan in Alabama was targeting him for assassination.

Dr. King knew the difference between turning your other cheek and letting yourself be murdered. He knew Luke 22:36, as any real Christian would.
