Hurtful cartoon went against inclusivity

TO THE EDITOR:

I saw your gun cartoon in Wednesday’s paper. I would like to discuss why I feel insulted, alienated and not included in the Carolina community, as demonstrated by this cartoon.

This cartoon displays a bias that makes people, such as myself, look ignorant and unintelligent. I enjoy my guns for recreation, but I also have them for protection. I am very proud of my Second Amendment rights.

Inclusivity is very important to Carolina. As gun owners and Carolina students, we are not ignorant, unintelligent or irresponsible; in fact, we are just like any other Carolina student.
