48. PPR'ed for suggesting run on guns due to racism?!?

Feb 2013

Black man gets elected. Teabaggers go insane wanting their country "back". The run on guns begins.

So the OP suggests in another now locked thread that the run on gun is racist. And gets banned for it. I am amazed that anyone at DU would even doubt that racism was the cause of the immediate run on guns. That run continued for 4 years without a single gun control proposal on the table.

Maybe I'll get banned too. But it seems amazingly obvious to me that racism is the reason that run began 4 years ago.

What do you people even think "take our country back" means? Don't you think it might mean take it back from the minorities?
