It is my understanding that American soldiers were allowed to purchase their service weapons after they were discharged from their military service, particularly through the earlier half of the 20th Century. My question is, under legal segregation and the historical mistreatment of American soldiers of color, were they permitted to same buy-back rights as their white counterparts? Was there ever anything in writing that expressly forbade the practice, or perhaps a more “de-facto” approach to this? This is my first community-post, so I appreciate everyone’s patience and consideration.
