Gun control only stops law-abiding citizens from getting guns.
If you split this argument into two sides, the NRA (who were not founded by the KKK btw) and anti-gun activist groups, then you are creating a false dichotomy. There are people who like guns but want gun control laws to make it harder for certain types of people to get guns, and there are people who hate guns who respect the rights of gun owners. It's not as black and white as you seem to want it.
Accusing someone of being a racist, however "sarcastic" you claim it was, is stepping way over the line. There is no excuse for that kind of behaviour.
