What is the difference between the "New" and "Old" Black Panthers? On the surface they appear to have the same agenda.
I think the revisionist history looks at the old BPP with nostalgia since they were around at the same time with the hippies. The FBI declared them a terrorist group. As far as the new BPP, standing in front of a Philadelphia polling place threatening the crackers kind of sums it up for me.Just out of curiosity, what agenda do you think that is. I'm just interested in what you think. Nothing more.

I prefer the Old BPNBPs? No.
Old BPs? Yes.
Revisionist how?
Old BPP is portrayed as anything but a violent group, much less domestic terrorists (FBI says terrorists). Several years ago on another forum I went round and round with a SF Bay area Marine (maybe 22 or 23) who flat out would not believe anything negative about this bunch. He thought the Weather Underground were heroes. How this guy made it to a Marine recruiters office is beyond me.
Around 40 New Black Panther Party members took to the streets of Austin, Texas to condemn recent killings of black civilians. Armed with high caliber weapons, they said they aimed to patrol their own communities and encourage the taking up of arms.
“Our initiative is for black men and women to start arming themselves and for us to start patrolling our own communities. That way we have a visual, we have an eye on what is going on in our neighborhoods. So our mission is to arm every black man that can legally be armed throughout the Unites States of America,”

I didn't see the "high-caliber" weapons in the video. Most of the weapons I saw were AR-15 style rifles which are most likely .223 caliber. I'm not sure where you get into "high" as far as caliber but .223 is certainly not.
You have to ignore the decimal points.
762 > 556 > 380 > 223 > 50 > 45 > 38 > 9 > 7
That's the only way I can make any sense of the reporting.

Ok thanks for the explanation. I was really confused. Also I think this is not what it seems:

I believe this firearm is a Colt/Umarex .22 LR M4 look-alike and not a "high-caliber" weapon. Based on my new understanding this this it would fit:
22
But I could be wrong because I'm not sure if it's OK to drop the "LR" from 22LR...
I don't have a problem with it unless they start pointing at innocents or me... then the shtf.
