Research has found that gun fondling (the ammosexual life style) is closely associated with bigoted attitudes:
In America, support for some gun control policies, such as universal background checks, is above 90% percent, and yet mass shooting after mass shooting fails to incite action from politicians.
The popular explanation for this failure to act, so well evoked by commentators like Igor Volsky, is that the NRA has bought and paid for many politicians, who refuse to vote against their paymasters to support common sense gun control measures. And it’s true that the NRA has used its leverage and war chest to apply pressure to politicians and beat back gun control efforts
However, this NRA-centric narrative is inadequate to explain why efforts to control America’s gun violence epidemic keep failing.
Recently, we analyzed two separate data sources about Americans’ attitudes toward guns and gun control, and found that there is major, less-examined factor that influences the gun control debate: the racial identity and racial attitudes of gun owners, and those who support or oppose gun control legislation.
Put simply, America’s gun problem is a white supremacy problem in disguise.
This is not a surprise.
The modern history of gun control begins with restrictive gun legislation signed into law in California in the 1960s by Ronald Reagan.
It was in response to the open carry activism of the Black Panthers, which culminated with them walking into the state legislature packing heat.
The rather tepid Gun Control Act of 1968, followed California’s law, and this, along with white panic over the perceived threat of Black radicals led to the NRA going batsh%$ insane, and now we have a significant portion of our political process driven by the paranoid ammosexual movement.
