"Despite the whole thing being pretty nuanced and flimsy, the gun rights movement got a hold of Winkler’s “racist” argument and ran with it."Outside of the fact that even courts recognized that historical gun control laws 'weren't meant to be applied to whites', one wonders where Ladd got the idea that firearm rights advocates "got a hold of Winkler’s “racist” argument and ran with it" since the facts have been becoming more apparent for years. Perhaps it was Winkler that got a hold of the information and ran w/ it? There's also the Chicago Chief of Police stating that Federal gun control laws 'facilitate the flow of illegal firearms into our urban centers, across this country, that are killing black and brown children,' . No mention of that though.
But that would hurt Ladd's belief that pro-rights advocates are nothing more than knuckle-draggers who don't have any thoughts beyond what the NRA tells us.
So IOW, Ladd (falsley) claims that we're holding Winkler up as some sort of pro-gun hero while at the same time deliberately misconstruing Winkler's arguments and dismissing them as 'nuanced and flimsy'.
Libelous Ladd strikes again.
And if DOOT is one of the 'darkest corners of the intenet' (a favorite dismissal of his), what does that make them? Over ten hours since his post was put up and not a single hit from it.

Clayton Cramer published The Racist Roots of Gun Control in 1995 when Adam Winkler was clerking in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
Who is got a hold of who's ideas again, Ladd?
