I heard an interesting thing on the radio. Hopefully this reminds me to share it when I'm not on mobile.

@Wipqozn draws gun Always have been

But the name is misleading because it was basically "If you can figure out how to say someone is doing terrorism and hand wave 9/11, you can do war stuff without asking Congress"

Okay I can't find a CBC article for it, but basically they had an interview with an author about her book around the history of Gun Control and Blacks in the US. Essentially, racism!

Basically post civil war black americans were forbid from owning guns, and SCOTUS said "yeah that's cool" since they were racist and said that black americans weren't citizens.

This gun control existed purely from racism, and basically it was whites wanting to ensure blacks remained unarmed... and more importantly, whites wanted to be armed so they could "protect themselves" from black americans...aka more racism

So basically this has continued into the modern day where the reason such huge portions of the "I wanna marry my gun" crowd are racist white people is because the reason they care so much about keeping their guns is because their gun love is rooted in racism, aka they want to protect themselves from black americans, aka they're racist.

quick meme from our friends over at Reddit:

@Wipqozn reminder that gun control laws in california were passed during reagan's governorship (yes, that reagan) after the black panthers called for black americans to purchase and own firearms

and the nra backed the gun control legislation

@Yuuki Surprise!

Makes sense

It honestly explains a lot.

the 2a crowd has always been intertwined with racism

yeah it always seemed like they were to me... but I didnb't know just how intertined

Basically I knew the most crazy gun nuts were racist too, but I didn't understand why.

it's easier to see if you abstract gun ownership as power. same with property ownership.

> When Meadows sought to have Rosen arrange an FBI meeting with a Giuliani ally pushing a conspiracy theory that Italy was using military technology and satellites to somehow change votes to Joe Biden, Rosen said he would not help Giuliani.

That's a new level of crazy I didn't hear before
