I'm reminded of this portion of the lyrics to Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Saturday Night Special":
"Hand guns are made for killin'
Ain't no good for nothin' else
And if you like to drink your whiskey
You might even shoot yourself
So why don't we dump 'em people
To the bottom of the sea
Before some old fool come around here
And wanna shoot either you or me
Mister Saturday-Night-Special
Got a barrel that's a-blue and cold
So ain't good for nothin'
But put a man six a-feet in a hole"

ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- A man with a long grudge against Maryland's capital-city newspaper was ordered held in jail Friday on five counts of first-degree murder after police said he blasted his way into the newsroom with a pump-action shotgun, killing five people in one of the deadliest attacks on journalists in U.S. history.
Jarrod Warren Ramos was swiftly arrested as he tried to hide under a desk Thursday afternoon at the Capital Gazette in Annapolis, police said.

named by racists for guns carried by Black criminals and Blacks just trying to survive white wing racists. LS wrote a lot of racist songs and attracted a lot of white wing fans.
Again, I agree with your point.
