Americans are arming themselves with guns at a record pace, especially Black Americans, whose gun ownership jumped 58.2% in 2020.
According to the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), Black Americans are running to the gun store to purchase firearms. Black Americans have a number of reasons for purchasing guns and according to
The Guardian, they include stress from the pandemic, the resurgence of mass shootings, and armed white protestors rallying against lockdown orders and in support of White supremacy.
Even when purchasing a firearm, many Black Americans experience racism of prejudice from white gun store owners. That has pushed many Black Americans to join Black gun clubs or seek training from Black gun instructors.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. It has seen conflicts between police and protesters, casualties and chili cook-offs.
It s where hundreds of supporters gathered with the family of Breonna Taylor for what should have been her 27th birthday and where they showed the world their heartbreak when no one was charged with her death.
It was home to a new vegetable garden during the heat of June, dozens of pumpkins in October, and an iced-over memorial encircled by silk flowers in February.
