The Chicago Tribune profiles Otis McDonald, the lead plaintiff in the Chicago gun rights case to be heard by the Supreme Court in March. Mr. McDonald is African American, which is both relevant and irrelevant.

Gun control has undeniably racist roots, and it appears gun control proponents, including those once funded at the behest of President Obama, are once again looking to ban African Americans from owning guns. But, the right to keep and bear arms is a right for all Americans, and Mr. McDonald is a fine example of an American citizen denied that right because of a law that will hopefully be struck down.
