When, why, and how did the Conservatives re-brand themselves as pro-gun when modern gun control came from the Conservatives in the 70's-80's to disarm groups like the Black Panthers?

You can look at developments in gun law in red and blue states and see an incredibly stark difference. Its not even comparable. You can hate Republicans all you like, but not for their stance on guns. Gun control IS racist, and Dems have been leading the charge ever since Reagan lit the torch for them. Anything Reagan had a hand in expired at a minimum of 18 years ago, most of it much before that. Silicon Valley tech bros and New York finance chuds are the new face of racists we actually have to worry about today.The Cletus the cousin fucker trope as much as I can see many people are permanently scarred by this caricature is moot in 2022. The young Republicans of the 80's and 90's are the democrats deciding policy today.

What would making money from the military industrial complex have to do with three red states progressing their constitutional carry bills this week alone? I do not understand that.
