The fact this was published in the Philadelphia Inquirer is a major disruption in the push for more and more infringements on rights protected by the Second Amendment in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia is the center of anti-Second Amendment political power in Pennsylvania.

Just met a beautiful 22 year old black woman who was taking the CC class here in Maryland, I told her she makes me wish I was 22 again.....
I’ve got a couple of black guns.
Careful. In simpler, saner times this would be seen as a basic compliment or light-hearted banter. Today, unfortunately, it could get one into major trouble depending on the sensitivity of the recipient of the compliment.
Hopefully the legal ownership and training with firearms becomes a growing trend among the law-abiding black community so that they can defend against the thugs in their midst who overwhelmingly target those within their own communities. It may also wake some people up to the anti-Constitutional goals of the democrats who want all law-abiding citizens disarmed.
Malcolm X had reason to be paranoid. By that time EVERYONE was after to the guy.
Or downright creepy. :-)
Hey, how about a little trigger discipline there, Malcom?
Never forget which political party wanted to keep blacks from owning firearms. The Demonrats.
Every time there’s another mass shooting, the gun grabbers dig in deeper. But so do gun owners, and the number of gun owners grows. Even liberals are figuring out that some responsibilities fall to the individual, like survival.
Miller, a gun owner, got her license to carry in both Pennsylvania and Delaware during the pandemic. It did little good. Her employer — a major Philadelphia hospital — refuses to allow employees to store weapons at work. “I can’t even protect myself,” she told me.
I’m a judge in One jurisdiction and a prosecutor in another. This is one area in which I firmly believe “you do it anyway”. Protect yourself, because idiotic policies like this do nothing to keep you safe.
First of all, law-abiding citizens have every right to own firearms, regardless of their race, ethnicity, religion, etc. Period. No one should question that.
The appearance of this article in the wildly liberal Philadelphia Inquirer (notice that “Black” is capitalized while “white” is not?) raises my suspicions.
Could this be an attempt, albeit feeble, to evoke hypocritical reactions from white gun owners? If so, it’s not going to work.
I sincerely hope that more gun ownership in places like Philly brings down violent crime, both reinforcing the rationale behind the Second Amendment and exposing the failure of leftist prosecutors and corrupt administrators who hamstring the police.
I enjoy watching Maj Toure’s videos. He uses facts and common sense. He will post video of defensive gun uses and go point by point as to what was done right and what was done wrong. He is a great asset for 2nd Amendment supporters.
However, every time I read an article discussing the “growing ranks of black gun owners”, I sense a bit of panic on the part of the left. It goes against their narrative of instilling fear in black people that all white people, and only white people, want guns just so they can murder minorities. This article isn’t quite bad.
It appears to me Maj Toure is the person who was able to get the interest in this going, and is probably the genesis for the article.
I have met Maj. He is the real deal. If you read the entire article, it is packed with serious information and insights into Second Amendment issues.
The information in this article has been studiously ignored by the MSM for 70 years.
This article is a breakthrough in Philadelphia.
Thanks for that great insight - wishing Maj every success!
That’s sexual harassment in 2023. You’re going lose everything you have!
Trigger discipline def wasn’t a thing in the 60’s. Most Vietnam grunt pics are equally guilty.
