A group called 'Black Guns Matter' is teaching Black Americans how to use firearms

Grief and rage swept the country after the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in late May. His death renewed debate about racialized police violence and the disproportionate killing of Black Americans, who are up to four times likelier than white Americans to be killed by police.

That debate has typically centered on policing itself. But Maj Toure, the founder of Black Guns Matter, has taken another tack: Advocating for Black Americans to take up arms for self-defense.

While many argue that the way to prevent violence is to have fewer guns, he says the opposite. "I believe that more Black people would be alive if they were armed," Toure told Business Insider Weekly.

"So when I hear 'unarmed Black man,' I'm sad," he added, "because there should be no such thing."

1. I know how to use firearms, but I don't let anyone I'd care to shoot live in my head.

Are you a Black American?

If not, why are you posting this?

Gun fetishes are disgusting.

[Frasier Balzov]

2. Please look at Chicago.

More guns and ammunition are not what is needed. There's too much of those products already.

3. They are going to get guns banned

[WhiskeyGrinder]

4. You are your own first defender and your own first responder.

That means different things to different people.

5. The founder is a gun humping Trumper.

6. Yahoo? This is crap.

Black guns matter sounds like approval of assault weapons. This sounds like a somebody said thing.

7. Philando Castile, John Crawford

gun rights are not meant for minorities.

8. If that catches on then we are certainly going to get gun reform

9. I'm a hunter and own firearms like my grandfather owned.

In fact a 2 were his. None hold more than 5 bullets. They are only used for hunting and all but one is locked up.

I favor strict gun laws. Registration, AWB, mandatory trigger locks. Of course universal background checks.

But got to say, If I was an African American living in the suburbs or especially the rural south I would have guns and know how to use them. Maybe even the AR types. Especially for the next few years.

There will be no uprising if Trump loses. But in the real rural redneck areas of the south some of his supporters are going to look for someone to punish.

No crazy civil war shit here. That’s crazy. But some of the liquored up hill jacks are going to get in their trucks.

If you had relatives that talk like some of mine you would understand.

10. Cool - pulling guns on the police....yeah - lets go with that.

sure to have an impact, one way or the other.

11. I tell my republican friends and ...

... acquaintances that if gun ownership is a constitutional right, the Federal welfare system will have to start issuing vouchers to help poor people buy them - just like food stamps and the infamous “Obama phones” (that they all believe was real).

It amuses me to watch them try to respond.
