Question of the Day: How Should White Shooters Reach Out to Minorities?

As an old white guy, I’m hardly going to say there’s anything wrong with a bunch of old white guys learning how to defend themselves with a gun. As an American raised on the concept of meritocracy, I’m not going to affirm affirmative action, either. But I do wonder why there are so few people of color at firearms training schools. Actually, forget that. Who cares why? Why not make an effort to reach out to the minority communities, to get them to appreciate and exercise their Second Amendment rights, regardless of whatever cultural or legal considerations have prevented them from doing so to date? How do we, distinguished members of America’s Armed Intelligentsia, share our love of freedom and firearms with marginalized members of the non-fighting fraternity (blacks, gays, Jews, women, etc.)?
