    Oh absolutely. Start letting the gun violence get too close to home and the rich will force that legislation through overnight

      A reminder that California’s famously strict gun laws started as a Republican reaction to black people owning guns and forming citizen militias to protect their neighborhoods from criminals and oppressive government thugs.

        Indeed, Ronnie Racist Fucking Reagan and a senator who panicked when the armed Black Panthers(?) walked into the State Capitol building during a protest. Before that, California was open carry, locked and loaded.

      Literally where California’s strictness on handguns originated.

      Exactly this. But you wont see one gun from rich people, while the rest of us have to mandatory turn in our guns. There are no laws for people that can throw money at the courthouse to let them do what they want. In america its only “legal” to do illegal shit if your rich

      I keep seeing evidence that the rich don’t give 1% of a shit about the rest of us, but I keep sending myself “thoughts and prayers” that that’s not totally true and we don’t have an open class war going on in the US.
