Race, the Second Amendment and the NRA | NOIR Season 7 Episode 2

About this video

Colion Noir argues that mainstream media unfairly portrays the NRA as racist to advance anti-gun agendas, while ignoring the organization’s history of supporting Second Amendment rights for African Americans and minorities. He describes what he views as tactics used by media and politicians—including judgment, willful ignorance, privilege, and hate—to discredit the NRA and its members. Colion recounts his own experience joining the NRA and researching its history, presenting his analysis of cases where he claims the NRA defended minority gun owners.
