"Fighting government tyranny" has always meant "exacting revenge for electing a black president" and historically "exacting revenge for having to treat black people as equals in polite company."

You'd be hard pressed to find the kind of modern rhetoric around guns you see today before the Civil Rights Act. The NRA endorsed the National Firearms Act of 1934.

    It's always been about keeping guns out of the hands of the undesirables. That's the only consistent logic we see over the years.

    American conservatives endorse stricter gun control every time there are concerns about minorities and/or the left arming themselves.

    Meanwhile, they want no regulations to inconvenience the mythical good guy with a gun. As long as that "good guy" is a conservative white Christian.
