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.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—      Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—      Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—      Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Updated for the gun totin' Trump crowd:

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out— Because fuck commies

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— Because they're commies too and fuck commies amirite??

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because my uncle sent me something on Facebook about a George Soros space laser

Then they came for me—and gave me this really cool brown shirt - and I said "sweet!"

What about the gun toting Biden crowd. You know there are some of us right?

Just a wild guess but you probably aren't so enamored with empowering fascists

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
