based on racism. Given the ratio of POC vs white deaths is an effort to curb gun trafficking racist? How about the move to prevent the transfer to guns without a complete background check, is that race based?

I understand that no law ever written, Jim Crow or not, has ever explicitly mentioned race even if the outcome is (Texas voting laws as an example), can a case be made that current attempts at gun control are overtly racist?

I personally don't see it but welcome any opposing commentary.
