IS THE VIOLENCE POLICY CENTER TRYING TO reinstate the “Black Codes?”

UPDATE: Bill Quick thinks this is a stretch. “I think it is a stretch to say that the VPC is calling for a ‘Black Code’ to reduce access for blacks alone to handguns. It’s pretty clear to me they are calling for reduced access for everybody, not just blacks.” They do stress the peculiar tendency toward violence among black people, though. And, you know, given the history, that’s questionable.
