How did the Democrat Party, which long dominated politics throughout the gun-happy south, become so fervently opposed to the Second Amendment?
Until the 20th Century; Democrat Gun Control was motivated entirely by racism which obviously excluded white democrats.
The Democrats kept blacks disarmed and defenseless to make them easier targets for folks such as their friends at the KKK.
Laws Designed To Disarm Slaves, Freedmen, And African-Americans
Sample Slave Codes, Black Codes, Economic-Based Gun Bans Used To Prevent The Arming Of African Americans, 1640-1995
Civil Rights Act of 1866 enacted. CRA of 1866 did away with badges of slavery embodied in the “Black Codes,” including those provisions which “prohibit any Negro or mulatto from having fire-arms.” [CONG. GLOBE, 39th Congress, 1st Session, pt. 1, 474 (29 Jan. 1866)] Senator William Saulsbury (D-Del) added “In my State for many years … there has existed a law … which declares that free Negroes shall not have the possession of firearms or ammunition. This bill proposes to take away from the States this police power …”and thus voted against the bill.
That is until the 1st Progressive President introduced his ideology as the primary driver of Gun Control.

Franklin Roosevelt: The Father of Gun Control
"Gun control is one of the great pieces of unfinished business for the Democratic Party."
History has taught the Progressives/Socialists/Marxists/Communists that the masses must be disarmed before they discover that the Utopian Dream they've been promised is systematically graduating towards a Totalitarian Nightmare.
ergo; The new Democrats became Anti-2nd Amendment when Progressives infiltrated their Party and convinced them that everyone should be disarmed.
And the reason given to the gullible masses by their Progressive saviors was, "it's for your own good"! :giggle1:
