Gun control isn’t just a race issue. It’s increasingly a class issue.

When permits become expensive, complicated, and difficult to obtain, the people hit hardest are often those with the fewest resources. The result is a system where rights become easier to exercise if you have money, time, and connections.

That’s a conversation more people need to have.

Who gets hurt most when governments make gun ownership difficult?
