<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nRemember back during the 2008 presidential campaign, the soon-to-be president Barack Obama told Americans how the people who oppose him “get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them”? Well, welcome to the 2015 version. Adam Winkler, some pointy-headed leftist professor, writes in the Washington Post The NRA will fall. It\u2019s inevitable. <\/a> To prove it, he leans heavily on demographics;<\/p>\n The core of the NRA\u2019s support comes from white, rural and relatively less educated voters. This demographic is currently influential in politics but clearly on the wane. While the decline of white, rural, less educated Americans is generally well known, less often recognized is what this means for gun legislation.<\/p>\n […]<\/p>\n Polls show that whites tend to favor gun rights over gun control by a significant margin (57 percent to 40 percent). Yet whites, who comprise 63 percent of the population today, won\u2019t be in the majority for long. Racial minorities are soon to be a majority, and they are the nation\u2019s strongest supporters of strict gun laws.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Um, Adam, you arrogant, pompous blowhard, you forgot to mention about how we cling to our God, and eat dirt. Most of the people I know who support the Second Amendment are pretty educated…in fact, I even know some people of color who are fairly well-educated and understand the Second Amendment and expect the government to protect our rights. In fact the people I know who happen to be other-than-white are educated enough to know when they’re being pigeon-holed by pointy-headed know-it-alls. <\/p>\n I’d suggest that people who don’t understand the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are less educated than those who do understand that the Bill of Rights was written to protect the minority from an ignorant majority and an overbearing government.<\/p>\n The people who I know that support the Second Amendment of the US Constitution only want to defend their families. Look at our “feel good stories<\/a>” today. There were nine instances of private citizens who couldn’t wait for the police to arrive to rescue them from harm this morning. Nine people who were confronted by criminals with weapons, criminals who won’t bother with background checks when they buy their own weapon in a back alley or a dark parking lot.<\/p>\n You have to wonder why, Mr. Academic would want to deny these people the means with which to defend their own right to be free of fear. The NRA and the other gun owner organizations protect the Second Amendment for those victims. Academia, on the other hand are doing their best to undermine personal security.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
