The reason the left teases out race and other class/collective conflict goes back to Marx, whose Hegelian dialectical logic held that a thesis and its antithesis synthesize to form a synthesis, and that progress occurs in this way.
So when they bring up whites being proponents of guns more so than racial minorities, they are teasing out fears of racial conflict, which go all the way back to slave revolts, which were the way that class-conflict proletarian rebellions took place in colonies where class-divisions were defined in racial terms.
In reality, there are people who are black as well as white who own guns, and there are people of all ethnicities who have criminal intentions, as well as those whose only intent is to protect themselves from crime/abuse.
So what the left is doing by evoking race/class collective conflict in gun rights is to stoke fears of racial conflict and thus deny the segment of people of any race/ethnicity who don't want to use guns either for crime or fighting, but they want to have them as protection from both crime and fighting, i.e. to BEAR arms and thus not have to deal with aggressors who take advantage of vulnerability if they can.
Now the big question is what Marxists/progressives are hoping to achieve by drumming up collective/class conflict between proletariat and bourgeoisie and the only answer to that can be that they want people to kill each other off so that the survivors have more wealth to divide among less people. Otherwise, they would seek more peaceful reforms that make do with less while improving conditions for all.
They know that threatening gun control stimulates people to buy up more guns and ammunition out of fear they won't be able to later; and then people end up reselling their extra guns/ammunition when they need money, or they get stolen/lost etc. and that is how more guns and ammunition end up in the hands of criminals, who use them to redistribute wealth to themselves by simply stealing and/or otherwise procuring it without consent.
