If black men own guns it’s not asking for war , it’s protecting yourself and your family , why let someone get the drop on you.
Dude is purely delusional. He literally said that the police would not do anything for him when he was robbed at gunpoint but still refuses to own a gun to protect himself. Do not rely on another person for your own safety.
I'm white as rice but I want my people, "we the people" to exercise their right to defend themselves. Keep buying! Buy as much as you can, as often as you can! Learn, train, become proficient and of course safe!
If you are an African-student of history, then you know having weapons to defend yourself isn't a bad idea. And the more modern and advanced, the better.
First...and yes we should go buy guns and ammo before laws make it impossible to do so
Some of us already had em. Some of us STAY ready for this evil in these streets. As long as they have em we will too.
Am hispanic, let's all open carry ,let them see they're not the only ones... with fire power....
The 2nd Amendment is for everyone! It's an Absolutely beautiful thing to witness such an increase in gun ownership ✊🏽✊🏽🇺🇸🇺🇸
That's what they said in Tulsa 1921. "No guns we asking for war" and then got bombed.
Yes we need this however we also need to come together as a unit!! I need a brother to watch my back and so I’ll watch his...
In the end uses a black man into guilt-tripping you not to be armed....don't fall for it, stay armed, stay a citizen!
As a white person I've always supported black groups like NBPP to own guns, everyone should own a gun regardless of race or belief.
I'm a Black man born and raised in California and I moved my residency to Utah. I recently bought my first gun a CZP-10 F. Then last week passing through Wyoming I bought an AR-15 style rifle. I truck drive cross country. It's a little risky for me but I'm glad I got it now. I'm eventually getting my ccw. I don't want a major racial confrontation to go down. Hell I had a baby by a White woman and I made friends with people of all races. I'm a regular guy. But sadly I know I'm a target because I'm Black. Driving across the country I gotta know the gun laws of every state.
Hell yes! If the police dont do their job anymore you should be able to protect yourself.
Owning guns means nothing if we don’t start producing our own ammo.
At least Malcolm X preaching is becoming a reality.
Yes we need to protect ourselves! How's that asking for war!
Look up who wants to take away your gun rights? Very important during this dangerous time. At the end of the day government or cops will not save you.
That brother at the end was tripping!!! Straight up!
I need my guns only protecting my family and not being vulnerable in any situation.i live by the bible and the gun
