Forward:
In the article below we see reference once again to the tired label of "racist" being (over) used against the 2A by the ACLU. The Second Amendment of course does not ascribe any differentiation over rights with regard to race or creed.
It's hard to tell if the caption is accurate with the image being used, but then in particular we see an 'oops', putting the gun in or taking it out - what is immediately obvious is finger on trigger plus, support hand almost aligned with muzzle. This shows stupidity, danger, lack of training, and seemingly an ignorant photo editor. Appropriate perhaps for a tale about ACLU.

The ACLU has decided to pull the race card in its latest anti-gun narrative, but Second Amendment advocates aren’t buying it.
The ACLU’s new theory about the Second Amendment is that it’s “anti-black.” Carol Anderson, professor of African American Studies at Emory University and author of the book White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Nation’s Divide, recently appeared on the ACLU’s At Liberty podcast and claimed that the Second Amendment’s creation was deeply racial in nature and fundamentally rooted in “anti-blackness.”
Anderson uses slavery, police brutality, and the 1967 Mulford Act to make her case that the Second Amendment is a tool to oppress black Americans. This culminated in her assertion that the Second Amendment is fundamentally, irredeemably “anti-black.”
This anti-gun sentiment is nothing new for the ACLU. Sentiments like Anderson’s perfectly fit its current narrative on gun control. The ACLU openly supports anti-Second Amendment legislation, claiming that “[t]he solution to gun violence is not more guns, but less.” Examples of these “solutions” include bans on assault weapons and raising the minimum age to purchase a handgun. According to the ACLU, such restrictions supposedly “raise no civil liberties concerns.”
This anti-gun narrative and its subsequent policy prescriptions are full of holes, but Anderson’s assertion about anti-blackness is completely repudiated by legal scholars and historians.
