Kirk argues that historical attempts to regulate firearms, often framed as measures against 'dangerous persons,' were fundamentally rooted in racism, citing numerous examples from colonial and antebellum periods targeting Black individuals and Native Americans. He contends that the Supreme Court's Bruen decision, which requires historical analogs for gun control laws, exposes this racist foundation, forcing gun control advocates to confront the origins of their arguments.
