But these are the exact communities that would benefit the most from laws that would restrict easy access to guns. These are the comminities where most gun violence occurs.
Public safety policies are based on public safety, not economics. People in marginalized communities are also effected more by requirements for drivers license and auto insurance. It is also harder for them to afford to remove lead plumbing or paint from their homes. This is unfortunate but it does not mean that they should be exempt from these public safety requirements.
