Report: Black Americans’ Gun Ownership Up Nearly 60 Percent
Breitbart ^ | 04.05.2021 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 04/06/2021 3:39:37 AM PDT by USA Conservative

Gun ownership among black Americans is up nearly 60 percent following the record gun sales of 2020.

The Guardian reports, “gun ownership among Black Americans is up 58.2 percent.”

The paper cites National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) figures showing “Americans bought a record number of firearms last year,” including an “estimated 5 million people [who] bought their first ever gun between March and August.”

Black Americans witnessed the greatest increase among all first-time gun buyers.

Gun rights groups like the National African American Gun Association have subsequently seen giant leaps in membership.

Anubis Heru owns the 1770 Armory and Gun Club in Denver, the first firearm store and simulator range in Colorado to be owned by a black American.

Heru commented on the existence of gun rights groups focused on black Americans, “The value of these groups is learning with people who know your struggle and understand what’s happening and has been happening with this country. Black people and women of color like to come to our facility because we’re not the typical redneck with a tattoo of the Three Percenters.”

On March 2, 2o21, Breitbart News reported black Chicagoans were flooding into concealed carry courses seeking to defend themselves against the crime in the Windy City.

Anecdotally, at a gun store I visited last year (for more 20 ga buckshot), half the shoppers were black.

That is a racist comment - but welcome to the club. Too bad most of your customers vote for people who want to take your gun rights away from you....

...Just like the old Jim Crow laws pushed by Democrats wanted to keep guns out of the hands of black Americans.

Different Century - same old Democrats.

Its wonderful to see the 2nd amendment exercised to provide the security for black folk which the defunded police cannot.

Next time BLM and ANTIFA go looting and burning in black neighborhoods,they may face a hail of lead.

Nice to see the people NRA largely exists for exercising their 2A right, as well. Unfortunately, the NRA lost its way in the 1960’s with the Black Panthers, which led to NAAGA forming.

Forget the Great Society. If this keeps up, we will eventually have a Polite Society.

With all the media driven talk of white supremacy and riots and violence in general you can’t blame anyone for wanting a gun.

Half of DEMOCRATS are now pro gun. And nearly all GOP.

I go to a couple of indoor ranges, and normally the training class attendants are black women.

Got this e-mil from a friend.

Systemic Racism in Chicago?
1. 2,240 Shootings, 440 Homicides from January thru July 2020. Almost every shooter and homicide were BLACK - 97.7%, but BLM and Chicago‘s Democratic Politicians blame “police and systemic racism.”
2. The Chicago mayor is black.
3. The Superintendent of Police is black.
4. The Cook County States’ Attorney is black.
5. The Chief Judge of Cook County Circuit Courts is black.
6 The Illinois Attorney General is black.
7. The Chicago Fire Department Commissioner is black.
8. The Cook County Board President is black.
9. The State Senate Majority Leader is black.
10. The Illinois Lieutenant Governor is black.
11. The Illinois Secretary of State is black.
12. The Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County is black.
13. The Cook County Clerk is black.
14. The Chicago Treasurer is black.
15. The Chicago Police Board President is black.
16. The Chicago Transit Authority President is black.
17. The CEO of Chicago Public Schools is black.
18. The Commissioner of the Department of Water Management is black.
19. 40% of the City Council belong to the Black Caucus.
Their average pay is $122,304 annually each, PLUS $122,000 per year in expenses. Their pension for life is 80% of last pay.
Republican head count in the City Council is ZERO.
William Hale Thompson was the last Republican Mayor of Chicago in 1931.
For 89 years Democrats have controlled the Chicago Mayor’s Office.
At the end of fiscal 2019 the Chicago deficit was $838,200,000!
Can someone please explain how it’s possible for Republicans, Donald Trump in particular or white people in general, to be responsible for Chicago’s horrendously dismal condition?
Anyone?

When the government fails to do its duty to enforce the law, then the people have no choice but to fend for themselves.

I’m glad that blacks are owning guns, but what’s a tattoo of the 3 percenters?

Probably anything on white skin that isn't a flower, a skull, or "MOM" (inside a heart ;^)...
