If we were known as a gender, ethnicity, race and socioeconomically diverse group, I think that makes us harder to go after.
If that were true the early efforts at gun control wouldn’t have targeted “Saturday night specials”, and the US cities with the strictest measures wouldn’t be predominantly black.
Washington DC is about half black. Chicago proper is 40%. NYC is one of the most racially diverse cities in the country. Nearly all of the people in them have effectively been disarmed, apart from criminals.
