I doubt we will have a defining moment until we all look basically the same from interbreeding. The cultural memory of slavery is strong and most of our nation’s ills can be traced to the fear among white people of being brought to “those people’s” level. It induces many to arm up. It makes many suspicious of government assistance that might be broad enough to help “those people” too. It makes many fear they are being looked down on, that they are already considered no better than “those people.” As long as there is an iota of racial sensitivity among white people, we are not getting intelligent gun safely laws.
I’m not sure how I can account for the former assault weapons ban. Maybe the Republicans weren’t yet aware of how gun ownership dovetailed with the Southern Strategy. But they know now, and just like they can’t give up Trump, they can’t give up guns.
I commented to my spouse this morning that I couldn't wait until every single person on Earth was the same dang color--but then what would the bigots do? They'd expire from the stress of not having anyone to blame or look down upon.
