PSA: modern gun control laws enacted by Republicans to keep guns away from Blacks
I love this dumb as fuck talking point. I know your goal is to suggest "if you support gun control then you're racist" but you've done so little critical thinking about it that you've forgotten that it's the pro-gun community that supports keeping the current, racist laws and the gun control advocates who want to change them.
I don't know anyone pro gun that wants to keep the current dog shit feel good laws,
Whatever the "people you know" think, it doesn't change the fact that the current laws were written by pro-gun groups and significant changes to them have been blocked by pro-gun groups. They've been in control of those laws for 20 years and they've delivered on absolutely none of the things they promised.
But don't worry, it's extremely on brand for "responsible gun owners" to deny they're in any way responsible for guns.
