3. This is the same right-wing

lie that promotes the idea that BLM is a racist organization. Their voting law atrocities, and their other overtly racist actions all belie their protestations that they are not racist. If it sheds light on white privilege -- it's racist, socialist, communist, or whatever "ist" fits their own fascist agenda. It's a part of their anti "Critical Race Theory" agenda.

Calling anti gun-violence efforts by rational people racist is just another example of their penchant for projection. The truth is that their over-the-top opposition to "gun control" is racist in nature, and another glaring example of protecting white-privilege by lying to POC about the motives for attempts to reduce gun violence.

Republicans, "conservatives," Libertarians, and the myriad groups of gun-toting right-wing militias are attempting to use POC as human shields in their efforts to stop the enactment of anti gun-violence measures across the country.
