The only people who will have a problem with law abiding blacks getting guns are those stupid Richard Spencer nutcases
Philip Smith, founder of the 14,000-member National African American Gun Association said his members are buying up every kind of gun, from Glock handguns to AR-15 rifles to AK-47 semi-automatic weapons — though most first-time buyers gravitate toward a nine-millimeter pistol or .38 revolver. He said that twice the usual attendees have RSVP’d for the next meeting of the Georgia chapter, which he heads.
“....so this is good news!”
I miss the days when availability of ammo, reloading components, powder, firearms parts, etc. wasn’t an issue, as well as prices far less costly than they are today. I’m still hoping that all the fear related buying will slow down a bit.
Guys in the hood buying guns to protect themselves from Trump people who are never going to come for them, who wouldn’t touch them with a 10 foot pole — how funny is that!
Don’t worry they’ll end up killing each other with their guns
Too hard for “minorities” to get an ID to vote, but they can scoop up the firearms when they want to.
Makes perfect sense.
I find that picture racist since there all white people behind the black guy with the gun.
>> Check out the National African American Gun Association - they look like an upstanding group to me.
>> I went to their website (http://www.naaga.co), and they do look like an upstanding group that I personally wouldn’t mind spending time with at the range, but there’s a problem...I have the wrong skin color...
Well, let me put on my (ex-767 airline) Captain’s hat for a moment: For all the days of my airline career, I loved saying “hi” and “bye” to the passengers that paid my salary. I’d do the cockpit setup early; the shutdown checklist quickly after we blocked in, and then stand by the door as they passed by me.
It was never a “buh-bye buh-bye buh-bye”. I could always find something different and interesting to say: “Get all your homework done? Looks like a good book. Kids, did Mom behave? Did y’all have a great vacation?”, and so on. In my 30+ year career, I probably did this one-on-one interaction with well over 10,000 passengers.
Now, for the black passengers, both male and female: They are so used to being ignored that they would pass me with an expressionless, blank stare - UNTIL - they were spoken to. To the person, their faces would would light up; they would smile and engage in conversation.
Since retirement 12 years ago, I have volunteered over 2,000 hours at our international airport’s information booth. For the most part, I’ve had the same experience, but, sorry to say, in the post-Ferguson days, the current occupant of the White Hut has created a chilling effect on more than a few. Sad. Good riddance to him.
If you can find a local group, I hope you give it a try - especially if you have experience, firearms instructor or RSO creds. Many of us Freepers would love to hear how it works out.
And now [ahem], putting on my Chaplain’s hat - Edwin Markham’s (1852-1940) poem “Outwitted”:
He drew a circle that shut me out —
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But Love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle that took him in!
Trumps election has certainly increased hate crimes.
...by liberals.
My neighbors in one side are black, nicest people you’d want for neighbors, both work in Memphis and both openly CCW.
They fear the referral animal black criminals.
The funny thing is that this might actually help to reduce crime in Black communities.
Law abiding Americans of African Descent have been buying a lot more guns of late. But it’s been going on for a few years. Not a few weeks as the LSM indicates.
Good news for all of us. Nice that the LSM finally decided o report on it. Even if they got the underlying reason and timing wrong.
Does this mean that the Knock-out Game is stepping up the level of violence? Because if anyone was being victimized in random acts of violence it was unprovoked attacks by black persons (sometimes on video) whacking unsuspected white people in the back of the head.
Horsesht. Hillary at the second debate precisely said she wanted guns away from minorities.
I’m for it - the more guns they have the more the odds they will start defending themselves from the thugs.
‘Black gun owner groups are seeing an uptick too, led by African-American women. They report receiving an increased number of emails from across the country from concerned minorities looking to learn more about gun safety, training, and firearm access.’

Good!
I have a feeling that black women are more likely to be victims of assault or rape. Glad they are protecting themselves.
It’s good for any woman to have ‘the Great Equalizer’ in her purse or holster.
If it were legal in Canada, I’d want my 17 year-old daughter to have a handgun and be well-trained in using it. Handguns are pretty restricted here.
‘The Second Amendment is for everyone.
It is race-neutral.
You can all thank the dead white guys who wrote

Indeed! :)

After he starts revitalizing inner cities, I bet you are right.
Trump cares about Americans...he really does want to make the country better.
It is an exciting time! :) MAGA!
