You can't charge a fee to vote, because that's a poll tax and therefore racist because most poor people in cities are minorities.

But you can charge a fee to own a gun, because they know poor people are most effected by said rates, which are typically minorities. Thus, they apparently don't want minorities to own guns to defend themselves (or because they know these poor minorities commit crimes).

The argument to point out the jim crow origin of gun control is so clear cut, and so simple to explain, it blows my mind that it can be spun in such a way by a one-sided media argument to make it seem like it's a helpful measure.
