    “Gun owner” is not an immutable attribute. Its not a skin colour. Comparing dislike of gun owners to racism is ridiculous.

      One can only commit an injustice against a person if it’s an immutable characteristic? That seems dumb in and of itself.

      Ftr, possessing drugs is not a immutable attribute either.

      But if that’s your hang up, the logical next thought would be “what if I take race out of it” and it’s just a conservative cheering on someone doing serious jail time for possession of a small amount of marijuana.

        Then that’s a different issue and should be handled according to what a person does/possesses and why on a case-by-case basis.

          You avoided an important question in my post which undermined your whole point.

          I stand by my point, their desire (and probably yours) is to make a gun owner suffer because you don’t like them, justice and objectivity be damned. It’s just like a racist conservative.
