It isn't non-sequitur. When a white person tells a person of color that they are "paranoid" about the enforcement of gun laws disproportionately harming people of color (a proven fact with a plethora of data supporting it) their whiteness (and therefore limited perspective) is highly relevant to the discussion. I never said I don't support gun limitations by the way. I'd support any gun laws whose costs are felt proportionately by everyone, and therefore strongly considered. If white-supremacist Bob gets to keep his armory because of a grandfather clause and can use it to terrorize BIPOC people because he lives in a sanctuary county, while somebody who can't rely on police to protect them because of their race goes to prison because they carry a semi-automatic handgun for self-defense, I am going to oppose the law. But if the law equally applied to white-supremacist Bob in a sanctuary county, then it is far more palatable.
But whiteness is often blindness on these topics.
