Is gun control constitutional? Is it racist? Is it even possible?

It’s just one example of the dangers posed by so-called militia extremists—the latest topic in our series to educate the nation on domestic terror threats that the FBI investigates today. Previous stories have focused on anarchist extremists, eco-terrorists/animal rights extremists, lone offenders, and sovereign citizen extremists.

Who they are. Like many domestic terrorism groups, militia extremists are anti-government. What sets them apart is that they’re often organized into paramilitary groups that follow a military-style rank hierarchy. They tend to stockpile illegal weapons and ammunition, trying illegally to get their hands on fully automatic firearms or attempting to convert weapons to fully automatic. They also try to buy or manufacture improvised explosive devices and typically engage in wilderness, survival, or other paramilitary training.

Gun control is racist. the first gun control laws were designed to keep newly freed black americans disarmed and vulnerable. it continues today with licensing, taxes, and attempts at requiring insurance as a gun owner

I agree to disagree. Our Second Amendment is clear as to what is necessary to the security of our free States.

And, this is a sovereign right of any State of our federal Union:

The defense and protection of the state and of the United States is an obligation of all persons within the state. The legislature shall provide for the discharge of this obligation and for the maintenance and regulation of an organized militia.

you've been on this forum for 7 years, surely you've seen the numerous threads where countless factual quotes attributed to those founding fathers and commentators specifically refer to the 2nd Amendment as a right of the people and the new federal government having no power or authority over the arms of those people, right?

You ignore the law. Well regulated militia of the United States have literal recourse to our Second Amendment when keeping and bear Arms for the security needs of our States or the Union.

Our Second Amendment is clear as to what is Necessary to the security of our free States and it is most certainly not, the unorganized militia as Individuals of the People.

Subject only to the police power, the right of the individual citizen to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. (Illinois State Constitution)

that's not what it says.

" the freedom of the people to keep and bare arms shall not be infringed."

simply writing a 'law' does not and cannot override the Constitution of the US. cite the historical documentation that clearly states that ONLY a well regulated militia has the right to bear arms.
