Black women are buying guns at a faster rate than any other demographic

When are you going to get yourself a sexy african hottie and let her take you to the gun range?

Up to 59 percent of African-American households now view owning a gun as a “necessity,” according to a recent study from the Pew Research Center released this month, and African-American women have outpaced all other races and genders in terms of securing concealed carry permits in Texas between 2000 and 2016, according to demographic information released by the state.
It wasn’t always this way — as recently as 2012, Pew had found that less than a third of black families saw gun ownership as a positive. Philip Smith, the founder of the National African American Gun Association, says that politics — and police shootings such as the recent slaying of Philando Castile — have caused the sudden upswing in gun ownership. And, in his opinion, owning a gun is perhaps the only way that African-American men and women can truly protect themselves.

The phenomenon was explained firsthand this week in an Op-Ed for The New York Times by Antonia Okafor, a graduate student at the University of Texas, Dallas. In her piece, titled “Why I Bring My Gun To School,” Okafor, who’s one of the foremost and youngest Second Amendment advocates in the nation, details why she supports Texas’ recent conceal carry law for college campuses and carries her Ruger LC9 pistol with her almost every where she goes.
Okafor writes that when she began advocating for the passage of the conceal carry law, she was not a “gun enthusiast.” But after a scare from a cyberstalker, she writes, she learned to shoot a gun and felt a new sense of empowerment.
“I felt empowered to be holding a tool that could protect me physically, and I was determined to learn how to use it responsibly. It was a relief to know that I could shoot if I had to, even though I would never use my gun unless it was a last means of self-defense. I got my concealed carry license a year ago,” she writes, before going on to explain why “there is a place for young, pro-Second Amendment women in modern feminism.”

I think this is great. The more citizens expressing their rights under the 2A, the better.

I don't blame them considering how often black men beat them.

This is a good thing.
The only way for the violence to stop in these areas is if people on the inside start taking matters into their own hands.

I was going to post something similar. A woman who is with a black man is six times more likely to be a victim of domestic violence than any other woman, only makes sense that they would protect themselves.

Why so mad?
I assume he's realizing he'll never know the savory feeling of putting his hands around an African princess and unbuckling her gunbelt while she caresses the pearl handle of her Smith & Wesson.

Just another reason why Democrats should be careful with their belief that "Demographics are destiny" in politics.

Or maybe he knows his chances of getting shot are significantly higher now.

Wonder how many are really straw purchases?
I've sold guns to black women before,it's almost always a small cheap .380,but they were a long way from being the biggest buyers.

This is wonderful news!
It makes me happy to hear about truly independent women who are willing to defend themselves!

Good, they're more vulnerable to violent crimes statistically

It's not gonna do them any good if they hold it sideways when they shoot.

I don't think he is black.
But, on the off chance he is black, I bet he dates white women.

The whole entire concept of straw purchases is bullshite anyway. According to this BS, I'm not supposed to be able to purchase a firearm as a gift for a family member.

Perhaps their BFs can't legally buy them?
