    This is Texas, where guns are supposed to be a proud part of the culture

    Isn't it an unspoken part of US gun culture that it was always meant to be practiced exclusively by white reactionaries so they could protect the existing order against non-whites, poors and "radicals" who were never supposed to have guns?

      Yes, 100,000% correct. Some of the first modern gun control legislation came from Ronald Reagan and California Republicans, who started to shit their pants once black folks in Oakland (the Black Panther Party in particular) started arming up.

        Not just used for slave patrols but also genociding native americans. Just literally large scale state sanctioned lynch mobs
