Sigh...so the #ARRL just posted this pic on the book of faces, which shows a guy soldering some kit, smiling, and wearing a shirt with and assault rifle and "Come and Take It" written on the front. This is not a good look, and it makes me (also a white male) not want to engage in the hobby.

We have a long, long way to go to make #hamradio and inclusive and welcoming hobby. When our national Association posts this kind of thing, it shows they just don't get it.

Agreed. This is one of many reasons why I am no longer an ARRL member, and why I am largely out of the hobby.
