Gun Owners Foundation & Black Guns Matter Put $25,000 Grant To Work In Inner Cities

USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- On Friday, Executive Vice President of Gun Owner of Foundation, John Velleco, and Maj Toure, founder of Black Guns Matter, announced a partnership to further Second Amendment rights in urban areas.

GOA's legal arm, Gun Owners Foundation, will partner with Black Guns Matter to support urban outreach efforts. The two groups celebrated Black History Month by announcing the program at the Maryland Capitol Building in Annapolis which is the site of the new Harriot Tubman statue. The parties held the press conference in front of the Fredrick Douglas memorial.

“We believe that the Second Amendment applies to everyone regardless of your economic situation, your gender, your race, the Second Amendment applies equally to all Americans,” Velleco told the crowd.

“Even gun control proponents might agree that the rancher in Montana has the right to own a gun for self-protection, but what about the single mother in St. Louis who struggles to get by on minimum wage and lives in a crime and drug-infested apartment complex? Or the grandmother in Baltimore who is afraid to go out at night because of violent gangs in what can hardly be called Charm City anymore?”

He believes that if more law-abiding citizens owned a firearm in the inner-city, then the crime rate will plummet. He considers that for too long anti-gun groups pushed a narrative of guns being a tool for criminals only in urban areas, and not for the hard-working average citizens who make of the majority of the people in inner cities.

Remember the fight at the Bernie rally a week or so ago? Some ignorant Bernie supporter took on a guy wearing a "Black Guns Matter" shirt. He wanted to take a picture of what he ignorantly perceived as a "Racist" Shirt.
Well, "No publicity is bad publicity" they say. Maj Toure has been touring for quite a while. He teaches gun safety, conflict de-escalation, conflict resolution, and the importance of the Second Amendment to those in the urban areas and beyond. The free classes are open to everyone, regardless of race or economic status. Who can be against that? Especially when considering that most large and well-established Pro-Second Amendment organizations don't pay a lot of attention to the inner cities.
If you have never heard about who Maj Toure and the Black Guns Matter organization are, now is a good time to educate yourself about this great American and his great organization.
This $25K will go a long way.
