Idk about that. I remember a zealous enthusiasm for guns and “freedom” in the South circa 1860.

minus-squarezikzak025@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·2 days agoIt’s always been about keeping guns out of the hands of the undesirables. That’s the only consistent logic we see over the years. American conservatives endorse stricter gun control every time there are concerns about minorities and/or the left arming themselves. Meanwhile, they want no regulations to inconvenience the mythical good guy with a gun. As long as that “good guy” is a conservative white Christian.
