The NRA is not demographically challenged. [View all]

The recent ongoing controller meme is that gun ownership is dying off. Soon gun ownership will be a relic of the extinct, ageing, uneducated white male they tell us.

I hate to share the bad news with controllers, but gun ownership is increasing across every measurable demographic. This four page piece by Frank Miniter does a good job of cutting through the emotion and getting to the facts.

Its surprising that millenials, who were raised on Call of Duty, and low violent crime rates aren't eager to join the dozen or so controllers on Tuesday afternoons to bang on tambourines outside of HRA HQ.
