I’ve noticed that some people tend to buy into the propaganda released by the anti-gun groups or those who just seem to not know any better, and believe that gun owners are uneducated and violence prone. This is plainly untrue, so I thought I would give some of my biographical and demographical information:
I’m an African American male in my mid twenties, and I live in a suburb of Chicago, IL. I’m a law student, and also hold a bachelor of science degree. Jessie Jackson certainly does not speak for me. I am a registered democrat, although I would likely vote libertarian if there were a viable libertarian candidate who wasn’t really a socially conservative republican in disguise. I currently work in the technology sector. I am law abiding, peaceable, and generally a soft spoken person. I own multiple firearms, including my favorites which are pump action shotguns. I enjoy firearms, but they are not my primary hobby. I grew up in a family that was ardently opposed to guns, and it was not until I was about 22 years old that I really began to think about guns rights as a good things.
In short, I don’t fit the inaccurate stereotype of gun owners that is portrayed with depressing regularity. Neither do these gun owners, or countless others. I have also found that the gun owners I have met in Chicago area gun stores and shooting ranges are just as racially tolerant as any other people, despite that anti-gun-owner stereotype too.
