A refreshing take from USA Today of all places

3. Not sure what you mean by not honest.

There's a long history in not only the US, but other nations of gun control working out that only the rich white guys or their security having guns. Was very common in the post civil war south.

Like most things, fire, gun control, they can be used for good or bad reasons, but obviously gun control has been at times pushed for bad reasons in the US. Even if it's not legislated there is still a huge built in bias effect.

Crack (black and poor drug) had harsher penalties than cocaine (white drug).

Then top it off with the repeated and now systematic repub led sweeps of possible felons from voter rolls right before elections which removes folks with joint possession crimes and crack crimes that heavily tend to be poor minorities that did not have the resources or benefit of friendly police to not get charged with a crime.

This doesn't invalidate every gun control benefit, but it most certainly is a factor to consider on implementing any gun control measures to make sure that they do not fall disproportionately on minorities and the poor.
