Harris - make America a 3rd world shithole
NC Gov. Roy Cooper vetoed the bill to abolish Jim Crow law. The repub General Assembly overrode his veto and abolished the century old, 1919 law.
"The second part of the bill repeals North Carolina’s Jim Crow-era pistol purchase permit law.
After the Civil War, North Carolina’s Democratic-controlled legislature enacted a permit system designed with the “intention… to keep minorities from possessing handguns,” according to The North Carolina Law Review.
Now, a century later, the report finds that “Black applicants [are] experiencing a rejection rate of approximately three times the rate of White applicants” for pistol permits at the Wake County Sheriff’s Office.
North Carolina is the only state in the South that has kept this law. Federal law already requires background checks for pistols purchased through licensed dealers."

The Fascist Leftwing wants to bring back these Jim Crow gun laws under the guise of "racially neutral" firearm bans.
