The dogma of gun control proponents that all new gun sales are being made by current gun owners, specifically white male conservatives.

This article indicates that is not correct. I agree with the article as my anecdotal observation matches, many minorities have been buying guns. Also the number of women buyers has been rapidly increasing. If you believe I have a problem with that, you are very mistaken. Never have I suggested there be any limitations based on race or gender.

I am very glad to see these new buyers are seeking education. If you recall, I have always been a strong proponent of getting a proper education in the safe handling and storage of firearms. Gun owners should take their responsibilities seriously.

EtA> initially you had recommended that post, now after our discussion I see you have removed it. Interesting.
