In my experience... This term is more used when arguing the 14th amendment. Jim Crow laws denied god given, constitutionally guarenteed rights under color of state law.
Gun controll laws were origonally jim crow laws. Denying a segment of US citizens the protection of the second amendment under state, or local law.
The term " under color of law" has nothing to do with color...lol.
I hope a member lawyer chimes in. I'd really like to hear a correct definition.
Google is cool... but not always correct. Like me...
