A report produced by the Firearm Industry Trade Association noted a nearly 60% increase in firearm sales among Black women and men in 2020. And when you consider all buyers, the organization said more than 8.4 million people purchased a firearm for the first time last year.
“We had been seeing the market shift over time,” Mark Oliva, Director of Public Affairs for the Firearm Industry Trade Association, said. “It was looking less like me (a white man) and more like the rest of America. We’re seeing more African Americans, more Hispanics, more Asian Americans, and we’re seeing more women buy guns.”
Many of these new gun owners are finding support and community from several gun rights organizations including The National African American Gun Association better known as NAAGA. It boasts 45,000 members nationwide since its inception in 2015.
anytime someone exercises a constitutional right its a good thing
Say it ain’t so, from all the past shoot outs I figured they all had firearms. This can be a benefit. When the damorats are aware of this they will stop pushing “gun control” As long as black carry, that’s fine. This White boy cares less about how many blacks are armed or what the illegal government purposes. I will carry and have done for years. Never know when someone will get silly with my loved ones or a innocent person nearby. I shoot back.
