Sure it was.
The crime bill was designed to stop the "super predators" (to quote two democrat presidential candidates). It was a racist depiction of black men. It included a provision to outlaw scary black guns. You can't really divorce the two and pretend they're not related.

- jki275 6y agoI don't think you get to tell me what to say here. I'm not the one using flame bait and calling the person I'm talking to ignorant because I disagree with their political opinion. I'm talking about cold hard facts -- and the cold hard fact here is that gun control in the US is a tool of racism and has been since before this country even existed as a nation. This fact has not been in dispute at any time in this nation's history, not since the first racist gun law was passed in 1664. https://www.sedgwickcounty.org/media/29093/the-racist-origins-of-us-gun-control.pdf https://www.sedgwickcounty.org/media/29093/the-racist-origin... https://scholarship.law.umn.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1615&context=lawineq https://scholarship.law.umn.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=... https://digitalcommons.uri.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1142&context=srhonorsprog https://digitalcommons.uri.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1...
