Jessica Luckett, dressed in a Women with Guns and Attitudes club T-shirt, sits on her living room couch with her gun in hand in Chicago, IL on Feb. 23, 2022.
Jessica Luckett got her first gun at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and it opened her eyes to the various laws and policies governing legal firearms ownership.
She works remotely for a nonprofit and lives alone in a West Pullman townhouse on the southern tip of Chicago. She often visits family and friends in Englewood, a high-crime neighborhood on the South Side where she grew up.
For Illinois residents to own a gun, they must get a firearm owner’s identification card, which is a months-long process.
Then, to carry the gun outside the home for self-defense, a concealed carry license is needed, which Luckett acquired.
Yet, through friends at a women’s gun club, she learned that other states observe very different gun laws. Most don’t ask for a firearm owner’s identification card and some don’t even ask for a concealed carry license.
“Why do we have an amendment that says right to bear arms, yet all states are so different?” she asked. “The amendment is for the entire United States, it is not for one state or another.”

Ask the Democrats you voted for.......
Hear, hear!
Woke yet to the oppression? No worries though. BranDUHn let us all know that those pesky “rights” aren’t absolute. You know like, oh, say, the 13th or 19th. Nobody mentions that. 😕
Decent,respectable US citizens of all races and colors shouldn’t have their full 2nd Amendment rights infringed.
And that, my friends, is what you call a "red-pill" moment.
I misread the headline as referring to black firearms.
Good for you, girl.
As to the amendment, a little off there. The 2nd recognizes the human right to life, to self defense; and guarantees that no US gov’mt can limit that right.
That is what these worthless gun control TWOT’s need to be told — in their face, with FEELING!
After that, if they still disagree you are wasting your time on an idiot. Walk away.
For clarity, is this for black people who own firearms, or people who own black firearms? Society is so confusing.
I believe in federalism but at some point, perhaps when the 23 states with constitutional carry grows to 26 or more, a suit based on “disparate impact” or “unequal treatment” will result in a SCOTUS ruling that may free us all from the restrictions of carry permits and “may issue” state policies.
One can hope.
I own several black firearms ...
... but they're not all Evil Black Rifles.
For Illinois residents to own a gun, they must get a firearm owner’s identification card, which is a months-long process.

My daughter-in-law got one last week, it took her three days.
The answer will be “You ain’t black!”
