Gun control has always been about racism. It has always been about the Democrats trying to keep black people from getting “uppity”.

Based on crime records, I’d say it’s true that blacks are more dangerous with guns that whites are. But, I will defend their rights to have them. An armed society is a polite society.

After the Civil War, newly freed blacks in the south migrated north to sell their strong backs as laborers. So democrats started the union movement to exclude blacks from competing with whites. Gun control followed to make sure the racist democrats could discriminate against blacks without threat of reprisal. It's always leftist regions - with heavy concentrations of blacks - that keep trying to disarm them.

Nothing has changed.
