Has anyone else noticed the latest Gunner attempt to denigrate anti violence legislation? [View all]

Suddenly gun control is RACIST!

Despite the origin of the 2nd Amendment and the blatant Republican attacks on black gun ownership (remember the Black Panthers arming themselves and patrolling black neighborhoods back under Reagan?) suddenly now ALL attempts at regulating guns is RACIST!

It's all over The Truth About Guns, America's First Freedom (hmm, thought that was freedom of speech??), Usconcealedcarry.com and just about every other gun fetishist source.

Can someone pray tell me how any of the attempted curbs on gun violence in the last decade overwhelmingly affect only people of color?

Amazing how so many seemingly disparate gun'splaining sources come up with the same talking point at the same time . . .
