NPR report on first time gun buyers

[txpitdog]

Maybe not such surprising news to us, but I figured that if it was significant enough for NPR to report its more than just a blip on the radar. With the minorities buying guns at a feverish rate, I’m beginning to see statements like “gun control is racist” pop up, which is a completely crazy tactic for supporting 2A, but hopefully it helps convey the votes won’t be there for Biden’s ignorant gun control policies.

All for it. Fight their BS using their own BS.

My neighbor is black and said the exact same thing. “Gun control is racist “.

As an FFL on the side, I have noticed this first hand. I used to average 30-50 transfers a month with around 10% being first time buyers or at least first time purchasing online.

For the past 9 months or so I average 150 a month with probably 40-50% being first time gun buyers/first online purchase of a firearm.

Lot of women as well.

I have noticed the "gun control is racist" talking point start being thrown around lately. I'm all for it.

Thing we need to focus on IMO though is that when that point comes up we should try to build some kind of a bridge to create an opportunity to work together on other things. They are trying like hell to keep us divided and if we can find common ground on anything we need to fight like hell to keep and work to build more common ground.

No need to "build" common ground. It is suppose to already exist! It is call the Constitution! We are at a point where one side despises it. There can't be common ground. That is their "rules". They are traitors to the United States of America. They are the enemy within.

This. There is no common ground for me, my beliefs and the leftist. None

No. And gun control isn’t racist even if it helps us keep our 2A rights. The racist crap needs to stop.

And just because someone is a gun owner it doesn’t mean they are on our side. LOTS still own guns and want ARs banned. Do not forget that. We are not all on the same team because they owns guns like us.

Not only is gun control racist so is requiring a LTC
The media tells us that people of color cant figure out how to obtain an official ID and with out an ID I'm assuming you cant get a LTC. If that's not racist i don't know what is.
Constitutional carry is the only answer
