Re: I emailed author of article about the 2nd Amendment being racist
A few things to do when responding to people who you think worth the effort:
1. Tone. Remain polite and respectful. (we all know how worked up the issue tends to get people)
2. Stick to facts and be willing to link to places to get the facts. You don't have to go to extremes like cut and paste but a name (like Colin Noir) or researchable tidbits (use keywords like FBI crime statistical report).
3. Don't be afraid to disagree, just don't blast with opinions. Nobody likes a rant.
4. Try to remain on the subject. Yes, we know the Democratic Party has made gun control a platform issue. So attack why it is wrong about specific points of the gun control issue, not the whole party and everyone on it.
5. As above: Stick to specific points you wish to make. You can't expect a sea change overnight in a person's point of view but slowly work that person into a frame of mind to question the talking points they have been indoctrinated with.

Re: I emailed author of article about the 2nd Amendment being racist
I agree. In places that restrict firearm rights unduly (i.e. blue states) it's about hierarchy/class rather than race, and those at the edges are the ones who benefit. The rich/famous/powerful can carry guns and/or hire those who can. The criminal class can carry guns, confident that's the first charge that will be plead away if they get caught. It's the average jane and joe who get infringed, because the powers-that-be understand that's where guns are a threat to them. They know the criminal class will have guns regardless, and they're not terribly concerned about that. They know THEY are not giving up their guns. It's the vast bulk of society, not the fringes, who need to be disarmed for their agenda.

Re: I emailed author of article about the 2nd Amendment being racist
Yeah, "From my cold dead hands" and "Because 2A MF'er" aren't always the best approach/response. Glad you got a positive reaction.
OTOH, I always fear such things are a throwaway: that the person in question is just avoiding conflict and will merrily continue down the path of ignorance.
But you gotta do the right thing regardless. Kudos on that.
For my part, I'll gladly teach anyone of any color, political belief, etc. about gun safety, shooting, etc. My club has a great guest policy (guest pass is $1 per day, and that really only for insurance compliance), and I'll take pretty much ANYONE to the club with me if they're interested.

The class should start with footage of Alec Balwin and Binger and discussion on what is wrong in those videos. That should pretty much cover the first session.

Does this person know the it was the NRA who was working to make sure the newly freed slaves in the south had their gun rights respected? Probably not.
