In case it wasn’t already blatantly obvious, my point is that terrorism in the US is fundamentally associated with “brown” people, and elicits the most immediate and direct attention from governments, whereas mass shootings are almost always committed by white men, and even the worst mass shootings against children elicit no real action.

But yes, guns have been regulated in the past — when? After the Black Panther party brought open carry weapons to the state capitol during a protest.




Different motives: mentally ill vs spiritual belief. and there are plenty of initiatives to ban guns after terrorist actions done by whites. not sure what your point is.


I just stated my point with perfect clarity. And no, gun control has been legislated almost entirely in response to perceived violence from communities of color.
