There might be one thing that Brian Kemp loves more than trying to stop black people from voting: his guns. And pointing his guns at people in campaign ads. And guns in general! In fact, while rallying for Kemp last weekend, Donald Trump said that if Democratic opponent Stacey Abrams becomes governor, she would somehow throw out the Second Amendment and confiscate guns in Georgia.

But Kemp pulled a stunning about-face on Monday when he declared that walking around with guns is "too extreme." He was motivated by a Breitbart article about a viral photo showing members of the New Black Panther Party (confirmed by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution) holding rifles and a pro-Stacey Abrams sign.

Kemp wasn't alone. Noted reasonable person David Clarke has said that the photo is voter intimidation, somehow, and Laura Ingraham, who formerly lost a slough of advertisers after making fun of high school shooting survivors, also decided that open-carrying guns was now cause for concern.

It would be easy to call the conservative messaging on this—claiming that gun control is bad unless the gun-owners are black—schizophrenic. But that would be dishonest. Kemp and his cheerleaders are being extremely consistent here: Like voting, gun rights only apply to white people.
