and why would it be, since Springfield is the capitol and the issue is a state law and not a city ordnance. Since we are talking about people from around the state, which may or may not be representative of the entire state, the OP has no point. But frankly, I fail to see what race most of the people happen to be has anything to do with validity of their cause. The OP is either pushing "gun owners are white racists" meme or is a racist him or her self.
