Chris Cheng is one of the National Rifle Association’s (NRA) newest commentators, and he is going to give the left fits. He is gay, pro-gun, and intent on breaking the stereotypes which are commonly thrust on gun owners in America.
According to the NRA, Cheng is a shooting enthusiast and former Google employee “who won the History Channel’s Top Shot season 4 in 2012.” He now competes on “the Bass Pro Shops [shooting] team in USPSA, IDPA and 3-gun.”
The NRA Blog reports that Cheng received $100,000 for winning Top Shot, and the first thing he did with the money was upgrade his yearly NRA membership to a lifetime membership. Cheng wrote directly to NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre to say he was now a life member.
Cheng is openly gay and according to Guns.com, he said, “I am not ashamed of being gay or being a gun owner.”
He added: “There are plenty of people who try to shame and blame responsible gun owners every time there’s some crazy person who decides to shoot people, and I simply will not give up my Second Amendment rights for the actions of crazy people.”
