Thanks for pointing out that gun control is inherently racist.

I see shit like this all the time, and it leads me to believe that a huge percentage of gun control folks aren’t so much against guns; they’re against a stereotype of gun owners.

They stereotype Second Amendment supporters as a bunch of rural folks in “flyover states” with pick-up trucks and shotguns and American flags, playing hard rock and country music, who believe very strongly in God and America and Supporting Our Troops.  And since they all know that everyone like that must be a stupid racist redneck, in their minds, gun ownership is “racist culture.” 

It’s why they blue screen when Second Amendment supporters say that they want black people and gays and trans people and other minorities to arm themselves; that the right and ability of vulnerable people to protect themselves against oppression is the point of the Second Amendment.

As far as I’m concerned, everyone who is physically and mentally able to own a gun responsibly SHOULD. Period. No “except them blacks” or whatever.
