With the violent crime rate increasing disproportionately in urban communities, it's no surprise that a recent phone survey of black voters found that 80 percent felt gun violence was an “extremely serious” problem. However, it seems this surge in violence actually has many in the black community changing their views on gun ownership.
In 1993, 74 percent of African-Americans favored gun control. Fast forward to 2018, and a Crime Prevention Research Center report found that concealed carry permits are on the rise – especially among minorities. In Texas alone, the number of blacks with permits has grown by almost 140 percent since 2012. Overall, this growth in the number of permits for blacks is happening 20 percent faster than for whites.
This increasingly positive attitude toward firearms might not be a new paradigm, but rather a return to form.
In this three-part series on militias in America, Early American Militias: The Forgotten History of Freedmen Militias from 1776 until the Civil War and American Militias after the Civil War: From Black Codes to the Black Panthers and Beyond provide detailed looks at the history of militias in early and post-Civil-War America. This guide takes a final look at how militias played a vital role in the Civil Rights Movement, an important piece of America that's missing from our history books.
The more hard-working black and Hispanic conservative gun owners, the better, I say.
Gun control has always been racist.
But WHY is it untold? Oh. Right. Because ball-less Republicans are too ball-less to throw it in demonicRATS’ faces.
Good post! I agree with everyone’s comments.
If you’re a law abiding citizen the 2nd Amendment applies to *you*.
Well that didn’t work well in Chicago and other urban areas - right?
I agree with your post. All legal US citizens have the right to enjoy the 2A.
Democrats: disarming law abiding citizens of all races so the criminal underclass will have it’s day as prelude to government “saving us” and enslaving us too.

Archie Bunker: “Okay, now is here is someone who is sure to agree with me. Lionel, what do your people feel about guns? Lionel: “Well, that depends on who’s holdin’ ‘em!” From All In The Family, ‘The Editorial’ episode, (aka as the gun control episode), 1972.)
Minority gun owners (blacks, Hispanics, Native Americans, Asians, Alaska Natives, Pacific Islanders) would be great for gun rights. The second amendment needs to be protected!

SYG, Castle Doctrine and other self defense laws have roots in the push back against Jim Crow laws. Yet today's “black leaders” line up to help the Progressives destroy all of the progress made to secure black families.
