"God made man. Smith&Wesson made them equal." -Some guy

But it isn't about equality to them. They don't want equality, they want supremacy.

An equal person is equally fearful walking down an unlit alley at night. They instead believe they should never feel such fear, that feeling caution is only for the inferior ones, that they should be able to walk through a minefield with a smug feeling of supremacy that physics will not apply to them as it does for mere mortals, for physics is a White Male Patriarchy construct.
