Open Carry Texas insists we dont see color after calling off march in black neighborhood

The Houston chapter of the gun-rights group Open Carry Texas abruptly postponed a march it had planned for Sunday through the citys Fifth Ward, a predominantly African-American neighborhood.
Talking Points Memo reported that the event organizer C.J. Grisham claimed to have a scheduling conflict on the day of the planned Fifth Ward march.
Prior to the cancelation, organizers had encouraged group members on Facebook to make the walk into a big event, in order to show that gun rights belong to all. The group said that it was going to conduct the walk-through of the heavily African-American neighborhoods in conjunction with a canned food drive for needy families.
Open Carry Texas has not yet announced when the rescheduled rally will take place.
On his blog, Houston open carry activist David Amad said that the groups intention was never racist, that his group was baited into planning the march by anti-gun activists.

I thought the whole point of owning and brandishing a gun was to assert that no one can make you do anything!
So after all that, the gun-crazies backed down from a bunch of people who don't have guns or violent intentions.
Sheesh! We really are better than them, aren't we?
