NRA Alternative For Black Americans Sees Its Membership Boom!

by | May 5, 2017 | News | 0 comments

The Atlanta based The National African-American Gun Association say they are an alternative to the NRA for black Americans. Recently due to more people wanting to own guns for various reasons including their safety in the current political climate the association is seeing a boom in membership!

CBS 46 reported:

Phillip Smith, the NAAGA president in Atlanta said, “I’d be lying to you if I didn’t say this is that there’s an apprehension in the community based on some of the political rhetoric regardless if you’re a Republican or Democrat, left or right. A lot of folks are just concerned with the way the country’s being run right now.”

Nezida Davis is in training, a NAAGA instructor gave her some pointers: shifting your hips is okay, but she shouldn’t lean; aim for center mass. She is training to survive, she says, in what she sees as the dangerous era of Donald Trump politics.

“Besides just crime in your community, there could be crime coming from anywhere. And we’re not just talking about terroristic threats — domestic terrorism, you know, white supremacists whatever you want to call them,” Davis said.

In the less than two years since it started, membership has exploded to 20,000.
