8. Along with Ms Fulton's endorsement, this will secure the AA vote for Hillary Clinton.

African Americans, by and large, want stronger gun safety laws because, well, their sons and daughters are dying in droves due to the lax laws we now have in each and every State (except for California, which has the strictest gun safety laws in the nation - but what still needs a lot of work, and that's saying something).

Lax gun safety laws have so frustrated and disheartened the AA community that they went from 85% in support of stricter gun laws to 65-70% - but it's still a huge majority and only because they believe they should begin to arm themselves as well in order to protect themselves and their children.

I don't see any other candidate running for the Democratic nomination now winning the majority of the AA vote, and without it, they can't win the nomination.
