      unless black people are owning guns then they’ll be all for gun control… like when the black panthers armed themselves.

        Red states tend to have some of the most free firearms laws in the country. And many of those states, particularly in the south, have large black populations. In fact, many of them have explicitly killed policies that were used to discriminate based on race, namely may-issue permitting laws.
