There are a lot of guns in America — this nation has collectively more civilian-owned guns than we have citizens. Unlike the rest of the developed world, firearms ownership in America is broadly held, with an estimated 40% of American households owning at least one gun; and unlike the rest of the world, gun-owning Americans tend to think of their weapons not as something dangerous, but as something that keeps them and their families safe.

Not one mention of the party of slavery and Jim Crow or how DemocRats conspired to keep blacks from owning firearms before and after the Civil War.

And now, so they don’t appear racist, they want to disarm everyone.

There have been guns all over America from its earliest settlement by Europeans.
