Why African Americans are taking up arms ? | DW Documentary

According to surveys, one in four African Americans owns a gun, a number that has risen sharply in recent years. African Americans are disproportionately more often the victims of shootings, including those by police. Many are turning to gun clubs as they learn how to handle their weapons.
"No-one is coming to save us," says Anubis Heru. “We have to save ourselves." Heru co-founded 1770 Armory, the first black gun club in the US state of Colorado. His goal is to teach members of the Black community how to properly use firearms. At shooting ranges, he demonstrates what's important when picking up a pistol or assault rifle. And attendance at his courses is booming. More than one in three white US citizens owns a gun, according to surveys. Some fear that if gun-ownership in the Black community rises, social tensions could escalate faster than they already have done, leading to a possible rise in shootings. Anubis Heru doesn't accept that. He says that given the situation, Black people need weapons to defend themselves.

As a white American, I am glad to see these brothers and sisters learning self-defense, gun safety, and respect for the legal use of firearms. Everything that was said about self-defense in this video is true. When seconds count, the police are only 20+ minutes away, or they dont' show up at all. No one can protect you, your family, your home, or your business ,but you. These people are not a militia, they are private citizens that have the right of self defense guaranteed to them by the US Constitution and several Supreme Court decisions.

[@monkeycat48]

I believe in their rights to bear arms to it doesn’t matter what color you are I believe in the Second Amendment when I look at gun control I think it’s nothing more than a racist stain on the past. It’s amazing that liberals would go as far to be anti-gun then again throughout history I’ve read anyone who’s anti-gun is either an idiot or a psychotic tyrant. The Democratic Party or as I called the jackass party is the pride definition of wanting to disarm everyone and speaking of which if you look at the past all their gun control laws they passed or actually directed towards African-Americans anyone of color. Made them easy targets to the Ku Klux Klan that literally were able to hunt down anyone who was unarmed and the same goes for the fact that they’re trying to disarm Law by and get on those like these people right here if they want to go after people with guns they need to go out for criminals not law biting citizens were sick and tired of it and I respect with these people are doing I’m with them all the way.

In other words, the person who called in an emergency to the police was ignored. The courts found that the police were NOT required to respond; essentially it was at the discretion of the police whether they wanted to respond. If you cannot count on the police to respond, you have to rely on your self and that may mean buying a firearm or other weapon (and hopefully learning how to use it as safely as possible). If the government forbids you to own a firearm, as you are proposing, then you are telling people that they are at the mercy of the bad people in the world and that you, the government, will NOT help them and, not only that, you will PUNISH them for defending themselves if they use a gun.

I've been an NRA Basic Firearms Safety Instructor and Range Safety Officer for over 5 years. Prior to 2019 I did see an increase in women, lgbtq and other minorities looking for firearms training and purchasing their first firearm. The one hesitation I do still see among the black community is " If I have a gun on me, I'll get shot by the cops. " and it's hard to argue against that view point when law abiding black citizens with the legal right to possess a firearm have been shot by police. The increase in crime on the street and in the home have swayed some to realize that protecting yourself is your responsibility first. Currently 2022 our society is clearly headed down a dangerous path, politicians pushing for more gun control will not lessen the threat from those with criminal intent. Simply telling citizens to be aware of the dangers but make regulations that leave them unarmed only does a disservice to those in the community looking protect themselves and the ones they love.

We have the most sh00tings in all of the EU, AND the strictest gun laws at the same time. But the politicians has no answers, and they just want to take the legal guns away. Even though the criminals get their guns smuggled from Balkan and from other war torn areas. Legal gun owners in Sweden are almost never involved in criminality. I would say that they are the most law abiding people in the Swedish society. To get a license for a hand gun, to only keep at home or at the range, can take years, of active membership in a gun club. And several tests, before you can get a license. But you can’t keep a gun on you, with that license. Only at home in a gun safe or at the range. Only police, military, and special guards can have a guns on them. So Americans should protect the 2A, because the criminals will always get their hands on guns, even thou guns are legal or not. Don’t let anyone take your right to self defense away from you. Because the police can and will not help you all the time. (And what about the AR-15? (Someone said AR-14🤪), it’s not a heavy assault weapon in 5.56! People wanting to ban just this type of rifle, makes no sense at all. People talking about banning these, probably never held such a gun in their hands??) Taking legal guns away, will not stop anything. But keep guns away from criminals. And criminals will be criminals. In London, criminals use knifes instead of guns, when the police took the illegal guns away. Just look at the numbers of stabbings, in London. And Google gang sh00tings in Sweden. The number of gang crimes , are relative to the number of immigrants coming to Sweden. These type of crimes did not exist in the 70s-80s, before Sweden opened its border and got hundreds of immigrant ghettos. And of course not all immigrants are criminals, you always Have to say that every time, when talking about these issues. Sweden now has the highest number of sh00tings and b0mb1ngs, in all of the EU!!!! (We Swedes does not have the same right to self defense, as Americans do.

African American is a name chosen by them in the 1980's to identify themselves as a unique group whose ancestors were enslaved by the Democratic Party before the American Civil War (1860-1864). The ancestors of most African Americans were imported before 1807 when the importation of slaves was outlawed by President Thomas Jefferson.

I'm European, I don't own a gun, I have mixed feelings about the concept of private gun ownership but I emphatically have no problem whatsoever with black people in America owning guns in order to defend themselves from the very real threat of racialized violence. Make that 2nd amendment work for you and your community, says I

[@alileevil]

As a European you should STFU regarding matters concerning the USA. Stay in your lane. You know nothing of the complexities and the problems of society here. Radicalized violence is a problem in the EU and not the USA. Last I checked, we didn't have bombings or beheadings in schools or churches as in the EU. The USA hasn't had any trucks mowing into people either. So why don't you focus your time on the problems of Europe where you live.

@@leftfield170 I'm not American, so I don't want to talk about things I haven't experienced, but if I was a black American, after Buffalo recently and that Rhodesian-flag wearing psycho shooting up the church a few years ago, I wouldn't consider being killed in a racially motivated shooting a fake threat

[@CRAZYHORSE19682003]

Here is the thing. As a black person in America you are more than 1000 times more likely to be killed by another black person than you are a white person. The media won't tell you that but will instead hyper focus on RARE racially motivated attacks. In America Black people kill on average 5x more white people per year than white people kill blacks.........the media is SILENT on this. In America when you look at interracial crime between blacks and whites, blacks commit 90% of it. Crimes like interracial rape are committed by blacks 99.9% of the time. White people experience a far greater percentage of racialized crime in America but the media remains silent because it does not fit their agenda.
