I don't have anecdotal evidence from the gun shop but I do from [black] friends I know from the military. Most are G2G and have their heads where they need to be as far as law enforcement, justice and the USA. Best friend was in 1st SFG. He's been stocking up, pissed, and is ready to get it on with the commies. My one anomaly is a buddy from my hometown that just retired as an Air Force E-9 and he's losing his fucking mind over this BLM shit. It's all personal, we're all picking on him, he's still enslaved and his comments are getting ominous. Actually to the point that I seek him out on the book of faces every morning to see how far the cheese has slipped off the cracker.
That said, my wild ass guess at scientific observation is that not every black person is crazy, not every black person is coming to kill you and not every black person hates cops and this county. |

Quoted: I'm sure he can run, but he probably can't score shit on the range quals, and killed the clearing barrel coming onto the FOB like most of the pogues before they get their ART-15. Whatever..... View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Facts. The average GD poster that owns $30K in NODS and Crye shit, but talks like they've seen some shit, can't even run the 2-miler in less than 13 minutes, which is pathetic. I saw a guy run a high 9 minute two mile during a PT test. It was absolutely incredible. However, he wasn't combat arms, which means his "training" was probably insufficient in the world of combat arms. I've witnessed PT studs who suck at rucking. It's a strange world really. I'm sure he can run, but he probably can't score shit on the range quals, and killed the clearing barrel coming onto the FOB like most of the pogues before they get their ART-15. Whatever..... I think you and I are arguing the same point, friendo. Airborne was implying that the majority of GD posters stack in quality gear even though they can’t use it. Then he added that he breaks world speed records, suggesting he is not in the group he was attempting to shit on. My point about the “pogue” was, he could run, but more than likely couldn’t execute proficiently in a combat scenario, same goes for the PT stud who couldn’t ruck. But…..whatever….. |

Quoted: This is the mass media's attempt at intimidation, in my opinion. The fact of the matter is, black people represent a minority and a large number of them have felony convictions and drug use/arrests which disqualifies them from legal possession of a firearm. So I have a hard time believing black people are buying 'lots of' legal firearms. It is what it be. View Quote A large number aren’t felons and they are buying legally. |

I shoot at an indoor range two-three times a week on average. Have been doing it at the same place for about the last year. I have noticed that I am seeing more black people shooting. Often in what looks like family groups. Not unusual to see what looks like a guy and wife/girlfriend with a mom or dad. If not with family then usually two or three guys together.
There are either not many asians here or they don't shoot guns at indoors ranges. White people are all over the map. Lots of women with their boyfriend/husband. Lots of groups of under 30 guys. I'm happy to see anyone out shooting as long as they are not sweeping me. |

ultimately which black people matter... Given the percentage of black men who legally can not own firearms, this makes me wonder.

Quoted: Achievable, of course! Pathetic if you can't do it? You sound like a 32 year old. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: I run mine in 12:47 as a 32 year old. Can you do better? Don't smoke or be a fat fuck, and work out regularly, and it's entirely achievable. No, he sounds like a 10-year old. If someone cannot run 2 miles in 20 minutes, then they are out of shape (depending on age obviously) and should probably get off the couch more often. A 10-minute mile might be considered “pathetic” - but on the other hand, it’s a lot faster than just walking. But to claim that anyone who cannot run two miles in 13 minutes is “pathetic” is just juvenile trolling. |

Law-abiding black people are the ones with the most to lose from all of this nonsense by far, and a lot of them are starting to realize that.

Cool to see.
I purchased my first gun a couple of decades ago....but I didn't really "gun up" until 2016. I wonder if what will come out of this is not so much a change in overall voting patterns, but a change in specific gun related issues? The realization that more gun laws will not fix gun violence in the hood. For those of us with CCL's in Illinois, our records are ran every night....legal gun owners are not the problem. |

Quoted: Good. They should arm up. It's their god given right to buy firearms. As another poster said - i hope they vote accordingly. View Quote Initially, and in general, they will not. They’ll have to catch some charges and lose some cool shit before they’re 100% on board. Again, in general. |

i have nothing against minorities buying or owning guns.
however... thugs, felons, democrats and liberals should be stripped of the right to own guns, all of them are criminals intent on stripping rights, property, money, property, freedom and rights from the majority of the population, and none should be allowed to own firearms. if you were to ban liberals / democrats from owning guns tomorrow, taking away arms from that 50% of society would drop the crime rate 95%. if you were to ban conservatives / republicans from owning guns tomorrow, taking away arms from that 50% of society would probably cause the crime rate to INCREASE a huge percent. |

also first step to red-pill blacks, they will move over when they realize the party they have been supporting wants to take that away i see a group of black deer hunters in camo during hunting season out in the country where we have land, i love seeing that, again common interests are always good |

The last few months ive seen a lot more black people at the range. They show up, shoot, have a good time, and leave.

I've noticed a big increase in blacks,older couples and women at the range.
