But they do. Effectively. The president is in charge of enforcing the law. If tomorrow the president decided to not enforce a law he’s technically just interpreted the laws.
Congress can’t force the president to really do anything if he refuses to enforce anything

Congress absolutely can mandate enforcement of statutes.

Because gun control was never ever racist from the start, oh wait....
Right. Gun control laws continue to be institutionally racist. After all, if you institute all the background checks, licenses, registration, safe storage laws, and so on it's impossible that those laws won't disproportionately effect minority groups who are the least likely to be able to afford background checks and gun cabinets and whatever other regulation associated costs.

Mistreating black people is a small price to pay for the mistreatment of Republicans.

I'm convinced that if the GOP made more attempts they could easily sway a lot of the minorities that the Democrats constantly champion let always let down or oppress in one way or another. Gun control is one such wedge issue that could be leveraged to this end. Nobody needs guns more than people who are one kind of minority or other.
An example that kills me; Dems crow about "looming White Supremacy", yet they want the Jews and everyone else to have no firearms or no firearms that are effectual in large scale conflict. If the Pres is a "Nazi" and so are his supporters....wouldn't you want the minorities to be able to defend against possible pogroms?

Only if you care about those minorities.

They only care about minorities when they need to count on their vote, then it's back to fucking them over along with everyone else.
One thing I have noticed over the years, is the uptick in minority shooters at the ranges. When asked if they had always been into firearms, the answer is usually no and they attribute their interest after hearing from folks like Colion and Maj.

Implying they care even then, exploitation isn't care.
Yeah, it's good to see a lot of diversity amongst gun folks these days.
