After working long hours as a lone employee of the National African American Gun Owner’s Association since 2015, Philip Smith hired four employees late last year. As founder and president of NAAGA, Smith only sees his organization’s current momentum picking up. With roughly 125 chapters across the country, NAAGA offers some of the lowest membership fees in its space. In turn, members get everything from firearms safety education to dedicated range days, new skill sessions, and more, all while meeting new folks. |

Mr. Smith has a lot of good things to say. He also has a couple of things wrong. By avoiding politics, he is avoiding the truth that the Left in this country doesn't want anybody to have guns, and they are hell-bent on disarming all of us, blacks included.
And avoiding that difficult reality doesn't contribute to the survival of the right he claims to value so highly. Reality: If you keep voting for Democrats, you WILL lose your right to go armed. It's all very nice, very 'tolerant' to rejoice in having, say, socialist members, but their political choices will bite us all eventuality, and voting Democrat will only expedite that eventuality.
FACE IT.
And do something about it instead of patting yourself on the back for your 'tolerance.' |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
