Maryland is profiling African American gun owners. Using Maryland state police and surrounding departments, they are illegally stopping African American men who leave ranges, gun shows and gun stores. They have contacted some stores and strongly “suggested” that these places “alert” them when you make a purchase. I have personally listened to three accounts from victims of this abuse since January. These brothers were watched and followed by undercover Maryland State Police and then pulled over by whatever local department you ended up at.

If you leave a gun show, for example, with a brown bag, and it appears that you made a purchase, this could happen to you. Maryland is trying to strong-arm you into giving up your guns, your hobby, your rights, and your freedom. Don’t be the victim of an accidental police shooting just from buying a copy of “Black Man With A Gun” from our supporters like, Silverado Gun Shows, Realco Guns, Schelin Guns or On-Target Range. Black men beware!

Is this new? Hell no! African Americans are the “ball” in the gun control game. We will continue to be played until we stop it. Since 1751, states like Louisiana, required colonists to stop any black carrying a potential weapon, such as a cane. If the brother refused to stop on demand, the colonist was authorized to “shoot to kill”. Racism is so tied to the gun control argument that it hides in plain sight. Gun ownership is not wrong. Having the right to defend yourself is a right even animals have. We will lose the rights in the US Constitution unless you are start defending them.

Help Stop This Abuse

If you get pulled over in a Sting, you will be outnumbered and out gunned. Comply with the directions of the police. Turn on every light your vehicle has. Let this be a signal to other pro-gun brothers and sisters that you need witnesses. When you see someone pulled over by a multitude of police officers and the occupants have all their lights on, pull over in a safe area, away from the police where you can safely observe. Then turn your lights on so that the victim knows you have his back. Record everyone’s tag number and get as much information as you can.

If you can’t meet with the brother that was pulled over, send the information to me so that I can be the central depository for hooking up victims and witnesses. Police need probable cause to search your car without your consent. If you can stomach the time loss, the process, the suspicion, go the distance and do not consent to a search of your car without a warrant.

The only way we can stop this madness is to stand up for the few rights we have left. Don’t continue to let others fight your fight. Until then, brothers and sisters watch you back! Pass this on to every brother and sister you know.
