The Mulford Act of 1967, signed into law by Governor Ronald Reagan, prohibited open carry in the state of California. The law was passed a mere 6 weeks after Black Panthers staged an armed protest at the state capital.

If you expected the NRA to come out in support of the Black Panthers, you'd be wrong. They fully supported the law.

Dave Chappelle said: "all black people should legally get registered and purchase firearms. Then firearms will be banned immediately."

I have to say the Black Panthers looked way cooler than those idiots in the bottom picture.
