California ‘Literacy Tests’ for Gun Buyers an Assault on Civil
Right, Says Foundation
A new state law requiring what amounts to a “literacy test” for
handgun buyers is a slap in the face to firearms civil rights to the
same degree that such tests required of black voters in the South
were an attack on their voting rights, the founder of the Second
Amendment Foundation (SAF) said today. “On the day our nation
celebrates the life of one of the leading civil rights activists of
the 20th Century, Dr. Martin Luther King, it is an outrage that
California law now treats gun buyers in much the same way that
African Americans were treated in the South to prevent them from
voting,” said SAF founder Alan Gottlieb. “The right to own a firearm
is no less important than the right to vote. California is treating
gun owners like cracker racists treated black citizens in the South
during the days of Segregation.” Literacy tests were outlawed by the
Voting Rights Act of 1965.
