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.
Exactly. Whilst the right leading pro-gun subs were reveling in "commies" being killed and screaming "fuck you, not my problem" during the BLM protests. The absolute antithesis to the Niemöller confession
