Ann Coulter quotes from the book Negroes With Guns by Robert F. Williams in her column recounting the courageous battles Southern blacks fought to defend themselves against the KKK with the help of the National Rifle Association:
In the preface to “Negroes With Guns,” Williams writes: “I have asserted the right of Negroes to meet the violence of the Ku Klux Klan by armed self-defense — and have acted on it. It has always been an accepted right of Americans, as the history of our Western states proves, that where the law is unable, or unwilling, to enforce order, the citizens can, and must act in self-defense against lawless violence.”
About Fr. John Peck
Martin Luther King had a much different idea, and his worked. Today we observe the second inauguration of the of the first “Negro” president of the USA.
I, and my African-American wife, are pretty happy about this.

Dr. King, however, was a Republican gun owner, though, so his idea wasn’t that much different. (and I say this as someone who is not a Republican)
Fr. John, are you listening to and reading Ann Coulter? SERIOUSLY???
Indeed, Judith, I read a great deal of authors from across the political spectrum, but the point of this article was not Ann Coulter, but about the book by Robert F. Williams (Coulter’s blog was just cited as the ‘hat tip’ source), and if you read this tiny article closer, you will see that I got it from PJ Media.
