Truthfully, I think white wing racism is at the core of gun proliferation in this country. Not every gun owner directly; but if by some miracle, racists quit buying guns, the market would all but dry up. All gun owners who oppose tough regulation are at a minimum contributing to just about every gun death, if only indirectly.
