they specifically only became supportive of restrictions on personal firearms after minorities started carrying them for protection from law enforcement overreach. It was a whole thing with then-governor Ronald Reagan

    Correct. They only care about this stuff because they don't want anyone to use it on them.

    If you don't believe me, just note how basically every single weapons ban written in the US magically has an exception for law enforcement carved into it. So... We (not me, but all you Californian people) can't have, say, a butterfly knife but for some reason the cops can? What do they need it for that we don't, exactly?
