Interesting article.
“Gun control in the U.S. has historically been rooted in racism of the blatant “no blacks allowed” variety. Fundamentally, it is difficult to subjugate a group if it’s armed. This is why restrictions on minority gun ownership pre-date not only the institution of slavery in the U.S. but the Founding itself. The modern gun-control movement has supported a more insidious method of using police discretion and biased background checks to suppress firearms-license issuance.
New York’s Sullivan Act is one of the best examples of gun-control laws that put minorities at a disadvantage, and it has been widely copied. Passed in 1911, the law addressed what was considered a growing problem of gun ownership among minorities, immigrants, labor organizers, and anyone seen as a threat.
The law accomplished this by allowing majority-white police departments broad leeway to determine licensing requirements. Police departments can add their own requirements; even if applicants deemed undesirable checked all the required boxes, the law’s “good moral character” clause could be used as a catchall to deny them. “

Black Guns Matter is an official organization.
“That debate has typically centered on policing itself. But Maj Toure, the founder of Black Guns Matter, has taken another tack: Advocating for Black Americans to take up arms for self-defense.
While many argue that the way to prevent violence is to have fewer guns, he says the opposite.
"I believe that more Black people would be alive if they were armed," Toure told Business Insider Weekly.
"So when I hear 'unarmed Black man,' I'm sad," he added, "because there should be no such thing."”

All Guns Matter!
Please don't hate on me for saying that....Glocks, 1911s, AK47s and AR15s can all live together as a community. No segregation. No systemic racism. Opportunities for all guns to shoot at the range no matter what caliber, color or magazine size.

Research the origin of "Melting Point" laws on guns
It prohibits any handgun having a frame made from powdered metal, or any material having a melting point less than 800 to 1000 degrees F (states vary).
You often hear the term "Saturday Night Special" but that is the condensed PC version.
