However given the unequal distribution of wealth and high percentage of minorities living in poverty classist policies has added bonus of also being racist policy makers.
Gun control is all about control. Minorities are more represented in politics today thus they are less of a target for overt discrimination. The poor, the weak, the disadvantaged, the underpresented well they are an easy target.
Nobody said gun control is LIMITED to racism but rather than its history if full of examples of racism and classism.
