However, I asked Kyle Cassidy to reach out to his subjects again, and we have added an update to our gallery -- which I agree, better reflects the composition of gun owners in the book and across America. Thank you all for bringing this point up!

As much as I love Kyle's stuff and writing, I won't be buying the book. No need to explain or defend etc. For those with the book though, or Kyle our man if you are not too busy signing autographs, I note that the photo excerpts have one African American and one woman that appears to be Asian descended. Armed White America? What is the spread in the book like? // richard (This email is for mailing lists. To reach me directly, please use richard at imagecraft.com)
