Two small things I would like you to explain to me:
1. As we all know, open carry is a thing you guys are very proud of. Same as concealed carry. How safe is it for a law-abiding black person to practice either? How likely is it for the NRA to support the civil rights of a black person who gets in trouble due to practicing either?
2. Funny story time: Recently, Nintendo released a game called Pokemon Go. Unlike previous Pokemon games, this one runs on smartphones; the idea is that this is an ARG (augmented reality game) where players collect new Pokemon by being in the right GPS coordinates at the right time. Experience with other, similarly designed ARGs like Ingress shows that this leads to people being encouraged to wander around quite a bit (There are stories of Ingress players travelling to Antarctica for it). Please estimate how safe it is for black people to play it.
1. I think it is safe for a black person to carry. Obviously the odds of a black being shot by police is higher, but the odds of anyone being shot by police are not that high. Despite what the news media and BLM people imply. I personally have no issue with any American adult carrying a firearm.
Why would the NRA not support their civil rights? It's not a racist organization. The NRA supports all Americans 2nd Amendment right. If a black person, or any person really, is legal to carry, openly or concealed, the NRA will support their right to do so in public.
2. I know very little about Pokemon geocaching. I fail to see why blacks would be in anymore danger than anyone else.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the impression I am getting from your question seems to be that you think blacks are almost hunted down and shot in the US. That simply is not the case. Yes there are some people who have problems with blacks because they are blacks, but those kinds of racists aren't the majority by any means.
