Black Code of Alabama in
January 1866 prohibited blacks to own or carry
firearms or other deadly weapons and prohibited "any
person to sell, give, or lend fire-arms or ammunition
of any description whatever" to any black. [The
Reconstruction Amendments' Debates, p. 209, (Alfred
Avins ed., 1967)] (GLJ, p. 345)
Alabama placed
"'extremely heavy business and/or transactional
taxes'" on the sale of handguns in an attempt "to put
handguns out of the reach of blacks and poor whites."
