American gun culture grew out of murdering people and stealing their land and sustained itself on murdering people for talking to white women.
Not exactly. I can see why you'd say that, but Americans weren't gun nuts until around the 1910s to 1920s. At that point the right wing decided they needed a better red herring than the Mexican Border, and started pushing the 2nd amendment bullshit they've been on ever since.
Interestingly, gun control laws were implemented to keep guns out of the hands of minorities. Gun control is literally racist.
Don't correct me then repeat my point more poorly.
I didn't. I corrected you and pointed out that it happened after we were done with expansionism.
You're still doing it. Except to be clear: you didn't point out shit. You said some vacuous "they needed a red herring" shit about the 2nd amendment without any explanation of why they did, why they picked that, or even really who they were. And you didn't correct shit either. Aside from an equally vacuous "You're wrong."
Have something to say or shut up. Please.
I said what I had to say, succinctly. It's not my fault you lack the historical knowledge, and grasp of nuance to know what I was talking about.
You seem rather angry, might wanna cut back on the stimulants or social media.
I literally said the same thing you did except I said more. What are you talking about. Fucking weirdo extraordinaire.
Congratulations, it's an asshole!
