#6. Gun Control
The use of gun control has always been about people gun control. Historically speaking, blacks have been the primary victims of gun control since the colonial era. In the era of slavery, it was logical to disarm slaves and free blacks in order for the white populace to assert their supremacy and quell any type of uprising.
The lurid nature of these policies continued in full effect during the Jim Crow era where blacks were left defenseless in the face of racist governments and White supremacist groups. Studies show that blacks are still disproportionately hurt by current gun control measures. Unfortunately, some things never change.
