The Volokh Conspiracy: Condoleeza Rice and the 2nd amendment. David Kopel links to an article at the Montgomery Advertiser containing this:
Rice has said memories of Birmingham's racial turmoil shaped some of her core values.
During the bombings of the summer of 1963, her father and other neighborhood men guarded the streets at night to keep white vigilantes at bay. Rice said her staunch defense of gun rights comes from those days. She has argued that if the guns her father and neighbors carried had been registered, they could have been confiscated by the authorities, leaving the black community defenseless.
Condi is a self-described "second amendment absolutist". I ♡ Condi.
