If they rule it is than so is NICS and the ATF.
Precisely.
This is part and parcel of Critical Race Theory (CRT).
Any disparity shown between any of the ill-defined "minority groups" and white, heterosexual Christian males, is defined as racism. No other proof needed.
According to CRT, all logic,math,reason,family,history,law,and culture has to be completely destroyed and re-constucted to their ever-changing whim... because of some past or present wrong which they define and re-define on the moment.
That is what they are demanding.
If you question them, you are defined as oppressing them, and you are not to be allowed to speak.
