The Media Notices that Black Americans Own Guns

The reporter in this case can't seem to decide if that is a good thing or a bad thing. Gun ownership among Black Americans rising nationwide

Tuesday night is Ladies’ Night for the 9th Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers Gun Club in Atlanta.

Karine Alleyn joined in 2020 and now she represents one of the fastest growing groups of new gun owners — Black women.

“I feel like I’ve accomplished something,” said Alleyn.

Overall it is a fairly good piece of journalism. Aside from the 9th Cavalry reference, they also talk to Phillip Smith, the president of the National African American Gun Association. And they provide links to the organizations' websites.

Phillip Smith, said membership jumped by more than 10,000 in 2020 alone and that was a record for the organization.

Now, the organization has 40,000 members nationwide.

They do have to point out how a lot of people think guns are bad and guns cause crime, but they do give a chance for one of the women they interviewed at ladies' night a chance to address the issue. (Hat tip to Keep and Bear Arms.)

  1. I frequently see "Black Americans" ( I hate that term ) At our local gun shows and gun stores here in Hampton Roads, Virginia . They are exercising their constitutional God given rights.
