Since March 2020, the FBI has conducted over 46 million firearm background checks. The National Shooting Sports Foundation found that firearm purchases by Black Americans increased by any other race, up by 56%, but Black gun store ownership remains rare.

I am a gun owner and currently open carry until I get my concealed carry permit. I recommend that everyone owns a gun and get training on using that gun.
Its almost like it takes a lot of work to open up a gunshop.
Isn’t it sad that everyone who is Black had a terrible experience trying to purchase a firearm from white FFL dealers? What does that tell you? Yet folks still will say there’s no racism. They don’t want us to defend ourselves and many of us fell in to that way of thinking until 2020
1st sentence tells me you dont know anything about guns or gun safety. Just the one statement Weapons of war puts you in the nut job category.
I applause All Americans who Buy and Own weapons for safety and self defense.
Americans Are ready to Protect WE THE PEOPLE.
America isn't America anymore.
Congrats to the NY Rifle and Pistol Association!!
If NBC really cared about this they would be calling for loosing of the regulations to open a new gun store. But in fact they are too busy writing stores to demonize and close down the gun stores that are already in operation.
This is great to see! Keep going! Would be great if every American buys at least one gun and becomes skilled with it.
I'm cringing watching the trainers stand in front of the student with a gun pointed at them.
B1.!!!
Scary black people buying guns. THis is bad says NBC
Gun control rooted in racism…….Dems Love gun control Abortion…rooted in racism….Dems love Abortion. Hmmmmm
Is it cause of racism? Yea of course, it always cause of racism
Gun Control is racist.
The only solution is a black nation. They can have you killing your own when they are around you. I'm telling you they have more power than you know.
at about 6:18 … the instructor has the trainee flags him :::stares at screen:::: otherwise, this is great and has given me more information so that I too can own a firearm
Most gun shops treat everybody like crap unless you know the owner or one of the employees.
Anybody that is not a felon can legally purchase an arm of the fire.
Arm yourselves black people. We are all we got.
And , there are probably 1 ASIAN GUN STORE, SLAVIC GUB STORE, LATINO, ETC ….AND????? HAVE BLACK PEOPLE NOT REALIZED THEY ARE BEING USED TO CREATE HATE TOWARDS THEMSELVES.
Her dad was shot at 2 years old…..BY A BLACK MAN…. Of course they didnt say that
There's a reason why so many black youths have criminal records, it prevents them from legally owning firearms and protecting themselves from danger (including corrupt cops) in the future . Corrupt cops are more scared of a black person who legally own guns than criminals with guns who they just shoot indiscriminately and be protected by law and not having to payout on a lawsuit. Look at how scared law enforcement agencies of the proud boys who legally carry, the same went for the black panthers in the past. Exercise your right to bear arms!!!
UPDATE: Redstone is closing
I'm a black man who has lost count of the # of pistols I have purchased since April 2022. I grew up around guns, and was an armorer in the Army. I made my first purchase in April 2022, got my conceal carry license, and have not had any issues purchasing firearms online or in person. I carry all the time except at work, and I go to the range once or twice a week.
Remember This Black People When Your A Gun Owners Never Vote Democrat There Anti-gun
Look it Up All Gun Control Bill Are By Democrats & There Anti-gun groups
Redstone is my spot. I overpaid for my AR but I dont care. I'm just glad I got the platform and can't wait to start training with it.
RIP Geneva😢😢😢
3:10 awesome people these are.❤
