"the KKK stemmed from a racist idea and can never be looked at again without associating it with racism"
Unless the KKK's "gun rights" argument is mentioned. The it's horribly unfair to associate it with racism.
"Anyone who says that the allegedly racist origins of firearms control mean that no firearms control can be acceptable would have to agree that the sexist origins of marriage and worker-protection legislation mean that marriage and worker-protection legislation can never be acceptable. And I'd have to find such a person either very dim or very disingenuous, or both."
Or utterly dishonest.
