Will that make you happy!?

Okay, dude, deep breaths.... relax.... Now reread what everyone else is saying with a cool head before you start speaking this way.
Nobody on here is advocating certain races or groups getting any special treatment. They are simply stating the FACTS that many pieces of bad gun legislation were enacted out of racism. However these gun laws were then applied to everyone. And our now kept in place out of what can only be described as classism.
These straight forward facts can be used as ammunition in our favor in the upcoming battles. So not only can we show that these gun laws do nothing but harm to our country, they were also put in place by outright racism, then the more liberal person has very little to stand on in defending these laws.
