The tricky thing about dealing with statistics and information is that we first must sort between facts and evaluations. A statistic itself has no value in a void, numbers are just numbers. And when it comes to firearms ownership, we pay attention to facts, polls, and numbers, and use them as the context of various evaluations. After winning the 4th Season of History Channel's Top Shot series, Chris Cheng was introduced to the politics of firearms ownership. In the United States, Asian Americans own less guns than any other demographic. So when Chris Cheng is advising AAPI GO, short for Asian American Pacific Islander Gun Owners, he makes sure to articulate what he thinks is the right evaluation to use to inform his goals. |

Yes, yes.... how DOES one say "Wakey-wakey!" in Asian American, anyway?
Perhaps Mr. Cheng can translate effectively. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
