From keeping African-Americans unarmed to Aboriginals who don’t have the ‘acceptable’ beliefs, gun control is a policy based on bigotry.

Today, gun control advocacy is rooted in misandrist and classist phobia’s.

Long guns are mostlym owned by males with an education PERCEIVED as less than University (something wrong with skilled trades?).

It’s a shame Academics fear those from outside their social class.

The Jesuits, by allowing only Christian Indians to purchase guns, were doing gun control in the early 1600′s.
