Leftist stereotypes hardest hit. Black, Armed, and Aware
The media is having a hard time wrapping their tiny minds around the fact that gunowners are not all white and male.
The Firing Pin, a busy spot off Interstate 490 on the outskirts of Monroe County, is home to the Rochester African American Firearms Association, or RAAFA, which provides gun and self-defense training mostly — but not exclusively — to African Americans like me.
The growth in the number of organizations like RAAFA in the United States has mirrored a surge in gun sales to Black people fueled by the uncertainty of the pandemic, skyrocketing violent crime, and polls showing that half of Black Americans feel they can’t trust the police to treat them fairly.
There is more, including how the RAAFA has to justify its existence to the media. (Inclusive? Not if you question the narrative!)
“It is our fundamental belief that the duty of the people is to arm and educate themselves in order to protect and defend themselves,” reads a statement on the RAAFA website, which claims the group has received an “overwhelming interest and response” and is now the largest of its kind serving upstate New York.
“We’re not criminals. We’re not a gang,” said [Paul] Adell, a U.S. Concealed Carry Association and National Rifle Association instructor. “We’re not any type of militia or military or militant type of group. We’re a community-based organization that offers training and education.”

“Praise God and pass the ammunition,” [Adell] said.
When a Progressive sees a black man walking down the street with a pistol in his holster, the first thought in his or her mind is "Oh my god, it's a armed black man! He's going to kill me!" That's what makes him or her a Progressive.
