Summary

Maj Toure, founder of Black Guns Matter, comes from inner-city Philadelphia, where he teaches black youth about their Second Amendment rights.  "Gun control is about people control," he says, adding that, "It’s not about safety. ... It’s about taking large percentages of American populations—urban centers; urban metropolises; New York City, 8.5, sometimes 9 million people—and telling them they do not have the right as stated in the Second Amendment to defend their lives. Our organization is there to push that back and the education and the understanding is how we do it." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.
