Interesting indeed!The first restrictions on gun ownership were legislated by Democrats to prevent"men of color" ,both freed slaves and"freemen"from gun ownership..Now we have a black man appointed because a bunch of Democrats screwed up trying to force the elimination of the Right to Bear Arms. Simply amazing!!!
