Videos tagged with Classism in Gun Control

This video argues that California's new state tax on firearms and ammunition, championed by Governor Gavin Newsom, is a regressive policy designed to disenfranchise lower-income individuals and minorities. The speaker contends that the tax disproportionately affects those who cannot afford the increased cost, pushing them towards illegal acquisition methods and bolstering the black market for firearms, rather than effectively reducing crime. The analysis suggests the policy is rooted in classist and racist ideologies, aiming to keep guns out of the hands of perceived undeserving populations.
