Historical rates of enslavement predict modern rates of American gun ownership

Unsurprising. Neither is this one:

Anti-Black racism linked to lower support for some gun rights

There has GOT to be a way we can use that to our advantage. Maybe more African-Americans need to... suck it up and join the NRA? That can't end badly, can it? (There's some sarcasm here. I'm sure it can, in fact, end badly.)

I'm not surprised about this, but given how much intellectual flexibility I've seen on supposedly hard-line conservatives over the last few years, I can't really see a way of playing off of someone's anti-Blackness to get them to support gun reforms. They'd find a way to make it only apply to Black people and neighborhoods.
