Precise numbers on gun ownership in the United States are difficult to detemine, because many gun owners do not wish to reveal they own guns, particularly in minority communities.

Likely an attempt to scare whites into supporting gun control, so that law-abiding blacks can’t keep arming up. Pathetic.

NO-—KNOWN gun ownership by blacks is up....

The street blacks have had a high number of guns for over 50 years.

My brother had a clinic appointment in the last month, with a nurse drawing blood and somehow a conversation started up on handguns. She was mid-40s....never owned a gun in her life. He gave her the five-minute introduction....best small pistol for lugging around in a purse, etc. Then he gave her the name of the better shop around town and how the purchase would work, and lectured her on taking their weekend training class.

I think if you went out and just gauged first-time ownership in the past year....probably over 5-million across the US since the Minneapolis episode.

Conservatives may assume incorrectly that gun ownership and gun training is their advantage against the Great Reset.

Most citizens are not trained or informed on statistics or statistical analysis, so Mainstream Media can slide propaganda into an article that many citizens would otherwise doubt as routinely biased toward the Socialist Left.

UK Media as whole is biased against the Legacy Constitutional Aristocrat rejecting US of A, and use their out-of-America position to publish news in a manner that Denigrates Legacy America while publishing some news suppressed and censored by American Mainstream Media thus appearing to be more "unbiased".

The Second Amendment and Liberty has no friends in any Government, Media, "Journalism", Entertainment or "Intellectual Elitists" anywhere in the world.

1st Rule of Gun Ownership... don’t talk about the guns you own.

This is why the left wants to create a searchable online gun registry. They want to put a target on your back.

Before the boating accident, all of my guns were black. I had one stainless steel shotgun for marine use, but I’ve never been partial to the steel look for my weaponry.

There is no way to know how much black ownership is up because nobody knows how many blacks had guns to begin with.

Look at Chicago. Illinois has strict guns laws and even a waiting period to purchase. Look at the number of people shot - more than 800 so far this year in one city! How many of them were done with legally purchased weapons? Damn few.

criminals and gang-bangers don’t generally purchase their firearms through retail outlets and go through background checks, so any stats that might show black gun ownership going up would be from the group of majority law-abiding, hard-working black folks purchasing guns to protect themselves from thugs, thieves, rapists, gang-bangers, feral utes, and BLM rioters who largely prey on the lower social-economic echelons, particularly the black communities ...

and that’s a GOOD thing ... a very good thing ... particularly since defunding the police impacts the lower social-economic groups FAR more than folks who live in much safer neighborhoods ...

And fraudulent biden EOs restrictive gun laws. Law abiding Americans have got to understand who stands with them.

There’s also a huge difference between black gun possession and legal gun ownership.
