[DAILYCALLER] In Alabama, no state politician, Republican or Democrat, would ever question gun rights, given the state's conservative leanings and rural setting.
But Democratic Alabama State Rep. Joseph Mitchell of Mobile, Ala. has a curious take on why his constituents in his majority African-American district should appreciate their Second Amendment rights.
In emails sent from Mitchell's official state legislature account obtained by the blog Yellow Hammer Politics and published Wednesday morning, Mitchell had a heated exchange with a constituent identified as Eddie Maxwell and provided his own defense of the Second Amendment.
Mitchell contended that the self-defense argument behind the Second Amendment was never used to protect his "folk" from "slave-holding, murdering, adulterous, baby-raping, incestuous, snaggle-toothed, backward-a**ed, inbreed, imported criminal-minded kin folk." |
