I think the article was deleted because the author (not Anglin) left the site. But it was about an incident in New Hampshire so it was clearly talking about poor whites not blacks.

Fine I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume it existed. So now show me the specific examples of white nationalists saying poor whites ahould be put in jail for owning guns.

Here is one, from the platform of White Nationalist congressional candidate Art Jones:

I propose a Federal law forbidding any resident receiving any kind of public aid or living in public housing complexes from owning a gun or hiding a gun. The penalty for violating such a law would be a minimum of six years in prison. One year for each bullet in a revolver.

Never heard of him and doubt he's a white nationalist and in the next paragraph he specifically states that the proposed gun law is to prevent guns getting in the hands of Hispanic and black gangs. Try again. You said you'd seen many wn's say this.

Edit: looked him up and yeah I vaguely recognise him I think. Guy who says things about the holocaust and has been running for decades and getting a dozen votes each time. How exactly is this guy a good representative of mainstream wn thought?

sees obvious proof that OP is correct

does mental gymnastics to make it seem somehow irrelevant

No I see one fringe kook who wants to keep guns out of the hands of blacks and Mexicans in his own words so in fact you've disproven your own OP yourself. It is not a WN position to put poor white people in jail for owning guns.

Is everyone who you think reflects badly on the movement, suddenly a fringe kook?

He doesn't reflect badly imo his positions are pretty sound -- including his entirely justified gun control measures designed IN HIS OWN WORDS to keep guns out of the hands of black and Mexican gangs -- but he's still a fringe figure that most WN's have likely never heard of. 'Kook' may have been a bit too harsh though.
