He is a well-known researcher in &#8220;gun violence&#8221; (sic) with a significant anti-gun bias. The quote above comes from Duke&#8217;s student newspaper, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dukechronicle.com\/article\/2018\/03\/a-look-at-past-and-proposed-gun-legislation-efforts-in-north-carolina\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Chronicle<\/a>, in which Cook was interviewed about past and proposed firearms-related legislation in the North Carolina General Assembly.<\/p>\n<p>He advocated much tighter restrictions on concealed carry as well as doing away with state preemption so that cities like Durham where Duke is located could enact their own gun controls. As to enacting a ban on carrying in public, at least for open carrying, it would be an unconstitutional act. <a href=\"http:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.blogspot.com\/2013\/03\/open-carry-in-north-carolina.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The North Carolina Supreme Court decided that in 1922<\/a> in the case of <i>State v. Keener<\/i> where the court ruled that open carrying was a constitutional right.<\/p>\n<p>Another gem in this article deals with a total mischaracterization of why North Carolina has the pistol purchase permit wherein one must apply for a permit from their local sheriff to buy a handgun.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<i>\u201cThat is relatively unusual, especially among Southern states,\u201d said Cook, who researches gun control and crime prevention&#8230;<\/i><br \/>\n<i><br \/><\/i><br \/>\n<i>\u201cThe wisdom of the time [in 1919] was that rifles and shotguns are used for hunting and target shooting and other sports uses. Handguns are used against people,\u201d Cook said. \u201cAnd I think that remains true today.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>No, the wisdom of the time had nothing to do with handguns being used against people. The wisdom of the time was that blacks, union organizers, populists, and even Republicans had to be kept relatively disarmed. This was so that these people could not present a challenge to segregationist Democrats and their Klan allies. I have researched it extensively and have had many posts over the years on this subject. You can find some of them <a href=\"http:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.blogspot.com\/2015\/05\/if-you-support-law-that-is-based-on.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.blogspot.com\/2015\/05\/an-act-to-regulate-sale-of-concealed.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.blogspot.com\/2015\/06\/an-act-to-regulate-sale-of-concealed.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>. I would note again that the co-sponsor of the 1919 bill was State Sen. Earle A. Humphrey (D-Goldsboro) who was the brother-in-law of ardent segregationist and Democrat party boss Furnifold Simmons.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cGuns don\u2019t have much legitimate purpose in cities outside of the hands of trained law enforcement,\u201d Cook said. \u201cI&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1112,45,1113,1114,150,973],"class_list":["post-450","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-duke-university","tag-gun-control","tag-jim-crow-laws","tag-philip-cook","tag-pistol-purchase-permits","tag-state-preemption"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=450"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11375,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450\/revisions\/11375"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=450"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=450"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=450"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
