During a recent episode of The Left Hook with Wajahat Ali, Don Lemon, a former host on CNN, made a provocative suggestion that black Americans should consider arming themselves as a means of resisting actions by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Lemon's remarks have sparked considerable discussion, particularly among those who champion the Second Amendment.
As reported by Breitbart, Lemon was quoted by FOX News saying, If you believe in the Second Amendment, if you believe in the Constitution, Black people, Brown people of all stripes, whether youre an Indian American or a Mexican American or whoever you are, go out in your place where you live and get a gun legally. Get a license to carry legally.
This statement underscores a call to action for minority communities to exercise their constitutional rights in the face of perceived threats.
Lemon further elaborated on his stance, emphasizing the importance of self-defense against what he perceives as unlawful actions by ICE. He stated, Because when you have people knocking on your door and taking you away without due process as a citizen, isnt that what the Second Amendment was written for?
His comments suggest a belief that the Second Amendment serves as a safeguard against government overreach.
In a broader context, Lemon posited that if black Americans and other minorities were to arm themselves, it might prompt a reevaluation among those who dismiss concerns about due process violations. He remarked that such actions it will knock some sense in the heads of these people who are saying, Well, its all great, I dont believe theyre doing it without due process. This perspective aligns with a conservative emphasis on individual rights and the importance of constitutional protections.
