Own a gun? Yep, you are a racist and most likely a misogynist as well. You may recall a certain now-deceased (in the digital sense) denizen of this group from the blustery north who said precisely that. Hence the blather coming from the control movement claiming the primary purpose of the 2A was to arm fugitive slave hunting patrols and to suppress slave rebellions. Of course, this begs the question of how African American (and women) gun owners are judged. The answer I've seen, which I will leave to your imagination, is unpleasant in the extreme.

Rather like the stirrings of an anti free expression movement as well. Making claims that the desire for freedom of expression is fundamentally racist. Something about how whites want free reign to use racial epithets and the like as a means to enforce the subjugation of minorities.

They are essentially alike, water carriers of the oligarchy and too stupid to realize it.
