In a city awash in violence, where a homicide or two is reported every few days, Maj Toure believes more guns – in the hands of the right people – could help stem the bloodshed.
“The good guys -- the people that want to be more informed, more responsible, that want to be card-carrying good guys and girls -- those are the people that we’re talking to,” said Toure, a North Philly native and rapper.
It's a similar message to the one espoused by the powerful lobbyist the National Rifle Association, which responded to calls for stricter gun control laws after the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School by saying more good guys with guns would deter future shootings.
On Saturday, Toure, 29, is hosting “Black Guns Matter,” a free event to help African Americans apply for a license to carry – required in Philly for gun owners to keep their guns on their person – with firearm safety training and information on gun laws.
Toure is best known for selling his music on SEPTA trains, but he is also a strong Second Amendment supporter and NRA member who believes black residents would be safer if more people exercised their constitutional right to bear arms legally.

True, but the fundamental problem is a breakdown of morality in society. Feral minority youts have no concept of the value of human life.
Lyndon Johnson has posthumously achieved his goal.
I’m told that while it’s relatively easy to get a PA carry permit, even if you have the permit you don’t want to get caught carrying in Philly. The cops there will give you the business good and hard.
No the answer is More Felons in Jail and stay there
Dallas is pretty good. But otherwise yeah, can’t blame you.
Close.
They already have all the “permit” they need.
“...shall not be infringed.”
>>They already have all the “permit” they need.
Oh geez. Whatever. I’m keeping my redundant permit because cops and courts don’t recognize “shall not be infringed”.
I refuse. F-IW
