Part of the problem is that nobody is actually "Pro-Gun".
What you have is "Pro-White people gun dealers" on one end and "Pro-Cop" on the other. Selling AR-15s and antique rifles to people who think having more hardware in the house makes them safer? Sure. Giving the municipal government endless license to harass and surveil anyone too young or brown to be considered a Real American? Absolutely.
But neither of these groups want you to carry a gun into, say, a congressional building. Neither want to disarm the police or downsize the military. Neither want to see an armed Black woman or Arab man walking towards them.
The only real debate is whether a cop should be allowed to arrest a white guy at a gun show
I mean I know black gun enthusiasts who are pro-gun...
I'm also familiar with the Nation of Islam
