Al Sharpton Reads Gun Appreciation Day Chairman Larry Ward about Slavery reference

Al said:
"Do you understand how despicable it would be to members of his family that saw their father killed by gun fire for you to say that you are in some way continuing his legacy on King weekend by doing Gun Appreciation Day, when he preached against that and died from a bullet wound? Then to say that there wouldn't be slavery if slaves had the right to guns? Slaves didn't have any rights. They didn't have the right to marry; they didn't have the right to name their own children... Why would they have rights to guns?"
