It's OK to Be White
I mentioned those 2 states, because the state governments have been very invasive about guns. Usually gun grabbing starts at the state level. When the Democrats get enough federal power, they sometimes pass legislation like the AWB of the 90s.
To be fair, Republicans were guilty of supporting this nonsense in the 80s, like with the Brady Bill and the original FOPA.
Have they really been that invasive? Guns are still legal in California and Virginia, plenty of people have them.
