A portion of the CNN story was used on the daily talk show, “The View” to discuss the rise in violence and gun sales. The show garners an average of 2.5 million daily viewers.

It would be presumptuous and erroneous to link the rise in first-time gun ownership in the Black community to the rise in gun violence. This is more of an awakening that Black Americans are woefully under-armed in a country that continues to dehumanize us.
