Some of you may or may not have heard of the Black Guns Matter organization. Some local 2A supporters in MD have reached out to the founder, Maj Toure, and are partnering up to make Baltimore their 1st stop on their 7-12 city tour. The organization is a non-partisan movement aimed at firearm safety, education and conflict resolution. A major effort is being made to educate those who do not typically take an interest in their 2A rights or the firearm community. The hope is to launch the tour within a month with an event here in Baltimore. They need our support and encouragement. This is a monumental task, but is made much easier when we all pitch in.
I know we are all beat on almost daily to help fund or support one thing or another.
I propose this, Maryland was the 7th state in the union, so I am suggesting we all donate at least $7. I think this is something most of us won't miss and it will have a huge impact when it is multiplied by the numbers we could involve here at MDShooters.
I will keep an eye on the group and post up when they announce a date/time/place for their Baltimore event. I think it would be a great show of support to spread the word and attend the event.
