The gun show, however, revealed a collection of people drawn together, not by race (or genetic evil), but by a shared belief that every American has an inherent right to self-defense. At a rough guesstimate, the people at the show attended roughly in proportion to their racial representation in my Southern state at large. There were couples, families with children of all ages, older people of all ages, and groups of friends, all brought together by a shared love for the Second Amendment.

The salespeople did not have signs saying, “No Blacks served here,” or “No Whites served here.” Instead, whether Black or White themselves, they were happy to talk about and sell their wares to anyone interested. I was interested and ended up buying an exquisite handmade knife made the old-fashioned way.

Just more reason to shut them down. How dare people of every stripe get together and get along just fine.

Beautiful story. Those who would infringe our Second Amendment rights are depriving people of all colors their inalienable right to self-defense. I have a friend whose parents came here legally from India. In their neighborhood keeping a shotgun for home defense was SOP.

This shouldn’t be shocking. I frequently chat with folks of different color at the range I frequent. Many are not “Trump supporters” or military or anything like. Many are obviously new gun owners trying to learn. And they’re just people who have been scared by the media portrayals of how white folks are out to get them. They seem relieved and glad to talk whenever I approach them, and I’ve had them approach me for pointers when it looks like I know what I’m doing. It saddens me how the leftists who control the public institutions are trying to divide us for their own selfish enrichment.

Was alcohol involved in the writing of this article?

How do you get from "my gay friend" to "The gun show, however, revealed a collection of people drawn together, not by race (or genetic evil),"??

On a side note, my friend (who's very much not gay) just sent me an email asking if I want to go shooting next weekend. WooHoo!
