Maj Toure, the founder of Black Guns Matter. (Photo: Black Guns Matter<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n

In a world filled with armchair activists and keyboard commandos, Maj Toure of Black Guns Matter<\/a> stands out. He stands out because he is neither. He is a boots-on-the-ground, not-afraid-to-get-my-hands-dirty 2A revolutionary.\u00a0 Maj talks the talk, but more importantly, he walks the walk.<\/p>\n

A hip-hop artist from north Philly, Toure doesn’t proclaim the virtues of the 2A on the web from a comfy couch in his living room. Nope. He goes directly to the people. And I’m not talking about preaching to the choir at your local gun club or suburban shooting center, though I’m sure he’s lectured at those venues before, too. I’m talking about the hood. Places that are known more for gun violence than gun safety.<\/p>\n

See, what Toure is attempting to do is spread the gospel of guns to the forgotten. Those inner city denizens who’ve had their right to self-defense all but vanquished in the name of “public safety.” People who’ve been told by politicians their whole life that the government will keep them safe,\u00a0only to be let down time and time again.\u00a0 Folks who need their right to keep and bear arms as much, if not more than, anyone else.<\/p>\n

It’s excellent work he is doing.\u00a0 Which is why I’m super pleased to hear that he is been added to the list of sponsors at SHOT Show 2018, which is just a few weeks away!\u00a0 Jan. 23-26 in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

John McNamara, senior director of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the firearms trade association, spoke about what it means to have Toure on board this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe era of cultural divide when it comes to firearms ownership should be a thing of the past, and thanks to the work of Maj Toure and Black Guns Matter, we\u2019re a lot closer to that being a realization,\u201d McNamara told the Washington Examiner<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s putting his money where his mouth is through this sponsorship, but his real impact will be in the \u2018Black Guns Matter: Engaging Urban Communities in the 2nd Amendment Fight\u2019 Retailer Seminar he\u2019ll be conducting,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

SEE ALSO:\u00a0NPR ‘More Blacks Support Concealed Carry’<\/a><\/h2>\n

I’m going to see if I can attend that seminar while I’m there.\u00a0 I bet it’s great.\u00a0 Though I’ve never met the man, I’m a big fan of his messaging.\u00a0 Consider this quote he gave to HuffPo for a piece they ran on “Why Black People Own Guns.<\/a>”\u00a0 The emphasis is mine.<\/p>\n

We give classes free to all on firearm safety, on knowing the law, on how to apply state laws and for different permits, how to get a license to carry in your particular town, who are some trainers that you can work with. We work with trainers locally for whatever city, lawyers that know firearm laws, the Sanskrit, the basics, conflict resolution, de-escalation tactics. And We give lessons on basics, so in essence it\u2019s a class on the Second Amendment, on human rights, on civics, firearm safety and the cultural differences between communities.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s to put people on the path to good citizenship. When you start paying attention to the Second Amendment, you start having more of a value for all of the other amendments. That creates good citizens: people who are politically active, who are going to their school board meetings, who are seeing what\u2019s up with budgets, talking to their city councils, talking to their state representatives<\/strong>. <\/em>We\u2019re getting them involved politically on most angles.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s so spot on.\u00a0 Appreciation for the 2A increases a citizen’s sense of responsibility.\u00a0 Not just individually, but civically as well.\u00a0 For ruling elites, oligarchs, and tyrants, there is nothing scarier than a well-armed, informed, and politically engaged citizenry.\u00a0 What is otherwise known as a free people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
