MLK and His Guns | HuffPost
This HuffPost article discusses Martin Luther King Jr.'s complicated relationship with guns. It highlights that despite his later embrace of nonviolence, King initially owned firearms for self-protection during the early days of the civil rights movement. The article contrasts King's approach with that of Malcolm X and the Black Panthers, who saw guns as a means of self-defense against police brutality. It also explores the historical context of gun control laws in the US, particularly the Gun Control Act of 1968, and the influence of the civil rights movement on the modern gun rights movement.
