Such incidents have encouraged many people of color to think about buying weapons for self-defense. Gun store owners say the number of Black and minority customers they’ve seen has quadrupled since the election. In addition, Black gun groups are reporting double the normal number of attendees at their meetings.
“Most folks are pretty nervous about what kind of America we’re going to see over the next 5-10 years,” Philip Smith, founder of the National African American Gun Association told NBC News.
Ed.: We heartily welcome all new gun owners. |

I'm calling Propaganda Corps BS on the on the racial incidents. At best they are false flags. The enemy camp is the only entity that has anything to gain stirring the racial pot.
OTOH, I welcome all gun owners into our ranks. So go to those gun shows and shops and join us. |

| NRA, being America's oldest civil rights group, should be getting lots of new members who are just now exercising their 2A rights. Welcome! |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
