Summary
White supremacist Avi Rachlin used racist slurs during a Michigan Senate committee hearing, claiming proposed gun legislation unfairly targets white people while suggesting lawmakers focus on Black communities in Detroit.
Representing the extremist group “Groypers for America,” Rachlin falsely argued the bill was retaliation against white Trump supporters.
His comments, including the use of the N-word, were condemned by lawmakers, with Sen. Jim Runestad calling the remarks inappropriate.
The committee ultimately advanced the bill, which would expand the ban on firearms in Michigan’s Capitol, initially requested after armed protests in 2020.
easiest way to implement gun control, arm black people en masse and make sure to advertise it
Ever heard of the black panthers? The state only allows this kind of thing for pale people.
Republicans tripped over each other to enact gun control when they say organized and arm black people excersiding their right to bare arms.
It feels like 70% of US laws and agencies were motivated by racism and oppression of minorities.
There was an episode of Bojack Horseman titled Thoughts and Prayers in which during a rise in mass gun violence, the Government is debating gun control. It doesn’t appear to be going anywhere until (following some sub-plotlines) there’s a huge surge in women owning handguns for self-protection and empowerment. The govt then pretty quickly moves to ban all guns.
Quote from the summary: “A senator asks what his constituents are supposed to do, not compliment random women on the street? and says they can’t live with that kind of fear.” and “Diane then says she can’t believe this country hates women more than it loves guns.”
