Didn't gun control ramp up when the Black Panthers started exercising their rights to bear arms? Funny thing is the Panthers seem much more like a "well-regulated militia" than this Wild West, permitless carry, anything goes BS.

exactly. gun control only started when minorities started exercising their right to bear arms. The right don’t want gun control laws until the groups they are trying to oppress start exercising their second amendment rights.

i mean, that's also perfectly legal under 2A, 90% of the time gun control is related to regulation in regards to owning, rather than the ability to the own it period. Which is another argument all together tbh.

I wouldnt know much about the specifics of that group though, only that it has to do with civil rights from memory lol.
