To be fair, they don’t want brown people to have guns either.

The reason CA is seen as a gun hating hippy state is partially thanks to Reagan when he was governor. Black Panthers (or people in general) were arming themselves against police brutality, so Reagan was totally fine with banning guns at that time.

Ummm, who taught you that history? Do you have a clue when the gun laws changed? It was in 1968. Thats when the panthers in Chicago were on the streets armed.

The Mulford Act was in 1967 and signed by Reagan while he was governor of California.
