People downplay gun violence all the time tho when it comes to either of those two things:

  • Police violence
  • Violence that happens in "the hood" (or whatever racist term people pull out)

Like, a lot of gun control is just made to protect those who aren't victims of either of those and are instead affluent suburban whites. The obsession with certain types of firearms, the obsession with the idea that ANY LAW no matter how bad it is will save at least one person, and all of those laws giving the police exemptions to own what liberals call "weapons of war" for free while regular people aren't allowed to have them are clear examples of it.
