white racist Democrats

Lotta redundancy there. And it remains the same today. The far left progressives are actually LILY WHITE. Nearly seven-in-ten Progressive Left (68%) are White adults, making this group less racially and ethnically diverse than the other Democratic-oriented groups.

Yet, these Dems hold views more extreme racist views than those held by more racially-diverse Dem groups....

...as well as general views more extreme than those held by more racially-diverse Dem groups.

They live in enclaves in cities, prefer going to museums over going to the range, and think religion is sophistry. Their policies and language all reek of a Superiority Complex.

This bunch of leftists has it in for blacks, youths and elders. Scratch a progressive, find a Klansman in a suit and tie or lab coat.

I remember being told that the Catholics kept guns in the basement.

But then, we all did where I grew up so it didn’t matter.

following a Supreme Court ruling that expanded the right to bear arms.

No. The Supreme Court didn't expand rights. It clarified the rights set forth in the Constitution.

You misspelled "more realistically protected from infringement".
