You can eat burritos without a firearm?

The NRA, while having a less hardline stance in the 60s, was actually used by several black leaders in the 60s for rights defense, setting up NRA charters and clubs in the south. Certainly in the last couple decades they have supported blacks gun rights. I’ve seen an NRA booth run by a black gentleman, with signs and charts touting how gun control is racist. Two high profile cases they supported had black plaintiffs, Heller in the case vs Washington DC, and McDonald vs Chicago. Their newest spokesperson, Colion Noir, is black. Anyone who wants to stereotype the current NRA as being full of white racists looking to keep the black man unarmed is out of touch with reality.

And just a note, several remnants of “Jim Crow” still exist in some states with regards to gun laws. One example is needed a Sheriff sign off on a hand gun purchase. On the surface that may not seem too bad - but when the law was made it was made to keep guns out of the hands of blacks.
