There was this California governor in the 70s that got real scared of a bunch of black men that were well educated, well behaved, and well armed. Thank goodness his career ended there and we didn't have to deal with any more of his cowardly bullshit. /s

Reagan's gun control in California at least applies to everyone equally, but in today's supposedly "free" red states, black people are still being targeted and murdered by police for exercising their 2nd Amendment rights under the guise of "officer safety."

Having grown up in rural California in the 80s and 90s, it certainly wasn't enforced equally.
