But, it's got some Native Americans really teed off. Read more @ Native Americans incensed over pro-gun rights billboard in Colorado | Fox News
The Native American genocide/impoundment wasn't about guns....it was about using perceived racial and religious superiority (Manifest Destiny) to bulldoze over the weaker peoples.
So...they were undefeatable WITH guns?
I read it as a warning to everybody that what the government did to the Native Americans could happen to them. I see no anti-Indian propaganda at all.
Yes, I would take it as a warning for minorities in this country to watch out for the white, christian males who think they own the place.
DAMN....using liberal ideal against them....awesome.......
what does this mean?
I think we all get that (Second Amendment) message. What I don't understand is how an organization can post something like that and not think about the ripple effect that it's gonna have through the community," she said.
What are liberals going to be so upset at the bilboards they're going to bash some indians?
what is the ripple effect?
The "ripple effect" is that Indians might start voting republican

Pfft...as if someone's personal gun collection would stand a chance against the Delaware national guard much less the US Army.

Which happened after they lost their guns.
You tell it like you were actually there to witness it first hand. Amazing skill you possess.
Slap some Jews on that Billboard and you'll see how offensive it is, like I said.
Besides, the government never took the natives' guns away, per se, even though the natives were not initially considered citizens. They all used guns, eventually, that they obtained via trading for furs, etc with white settlers. Moron RW'ers and their revisionist history of wounded knee. The calvary went in and disarmed the Lakota BY FORCE, who did not give up their guns quietly.
"The Wounded Knee Massacre occurred on December 29, 1890,[4] near Wounded Knee Creek (Lakota: Čhaŋkpé Ópi Wakpála) on the Lakota Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, USA. It was the last battle of the American Indian Wars. On the day before, a detachment of the U.S. 7th Cavalry Regiment commanded by Major Samuel M. Whitside intercepted Spotted Elk's band of Miniconjou Lakota and 38 Hunkpapa Lakota near Porcupine Butte and escorted them five miles westward (8 km) to Wounded Knee Creek, where they made camp.
The remainder of the 7th Cavalry Regiment arrived, led by James W. Forsyth and surrounded the encampment supported by four Hotchkiss guns.[5]
On the morning of December 29, the troops went into the camp to disarm the Lakota. One version of events claims that during the process of disarming the Lakota, a deaf tribesman named Black Coyote was reluctant to give up his rifle, claiming he had paid a lot for it.[6] A scuffle over Black Coyote's rifle escalated and a shot was fired which resulted in the 7th Cavalry's opening fire indiscriminately from all sides, killing men, women, and children, as well as some of their own fellow troopers. Those few Lakota warriors who still had weapons began shooting back at the attacking troopers, who quickly suppressed the Lakota fire. The surviving Lakota fled, but U.S. cavalrymen pursued and killed many who were unarmed."
I love when poor, uneducated people who are racist themselves try to "educate" others. It's cute.

sadly it seems, that American Indians have taken notes and now act as a victim class.
take offense to anything and everything.
Yeah, all you did was eradicate them. Then use their extermination as a billboard to score political points. Jeez..get over it
To drive the point even further this billboard would NEVER EVER show Jews on it. And no one would EVER ask them to get over it
So...they were undefeatable WITH guns?
Strawman!!!
No, but they sure as hell we easier to defeat once disarmed.
Not a strawman at all. It shows that this is not a "gun" issue at all. It's about the big bad European christian male pushing around the natives, a minority, because he CAN.

.
No Hotchkiss guns at Little Bighorn as that occurred in 1876, 14 years before wounded Knee.
U.S. Calvary eventually upped their firepower after the stomping they took at Little Bighorn.
Partisan historical relativists like you almost make me wish that aliens would abduct me again........
Slap some Jews on that Billboard and watch how many ppl suddenly understand the difference between class and crass

Many on the rez still want little to do with Anglo culture and that includes voting.
How does that explanation contradict the message of the billboard?
Nor do I. What are they pissed off about?I read it as a warning to everybody that what the government did to the Native Americans could happen to them. I see no anti-Indian propaganda at all.
