Hi, I'm Alyssa Malano, and this is Sorry Not Sorry. So, There are more guns than people in the United States. About half of the guns in the world are owned by Americans. About 45,000 Americans die from

gunshot wounds each year and more than 100,000 survive shootings. We view guns

as inherently masculine, and there is a distinct racial

coding in how we perceive guns and gun use in this country. Still the fastest

growing demographic of gun ownership is women and

black women in particular. And a new essay on the Everin platform called Stand Your Ground of Black Feminist Reckoning

with America's Gun Problem. Roxanne Gay unpacks gun culture and gun ownership

in America from a Black feminist point of view.

A new study finds that black women are among the fastest growing groups of gun owners in the United States. That's according to a

National African American Gun Association study. It's all based around

race. You listen to Wayne Lop Pierce, who is he talking about who's going to come

break into your house? The people he's talking to aren't picturing some white person coming into their house.

He's referring to Latino gangs and knockout gamers and all those silly things he said.

There's a very specific crowd,

it's a very specific fear he's playing to,

when it goes back to the birth of a nation

and long before that.

The image of your typical American gun owner

is changing, and that's because more and more of them

look like well me a black woman.

New research from the University of Manchester says that gun owners are racist.

This is just not going to end well.
