USA -(Ammoland.com)- Wrapping up a whirlwind campaign in 2016 to spread awareness and education in cities across the nation, Maj Toure, the urban visionary behind the steam-gathering Black Guns Matter movement, said the successes of the program have snowballed – and it’s only the beginning.
The Black Guns Matter Firearms Safety Tour, which promotes firearms safety, training and gun rights advocacy amongst inner-city communities, visited 13 American cities, reaching deep into urban centers to touch a predominantly African-American demographic – an audience Toure said “has been deliberately left out of the discussion about the Second Amendment.”
Toure is changing that, setting up presentations and seminars in firing ranges, small venues and community centers – he even held a presentation in a community garden in West Baltimore – all in order to be amongst those who have the most to learn and earn from the illuminating discussion about gun rights and safety.
“People in the community [in Baltimore] were actually walking past, stopping and going ‘what’s this?’ then sticking around to listen,” he said. “The class grew from there.”
