\"The new visibility and increased membership in lawful Black gun ownership is likely to continue to grow, say its advocates. Black Guns Matter founder Maj Toure is helping other African-Americans learn gun safety and advocates for Black gun ownership.\
\
He told Business Weekly Insider that after Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police on May 25, he traveled to Minneapolis to set up a gun safety demonstration on the streets.\
\
"I believe that more Black people would be alive if they were armed," Toure said. "So when I hear 'unarmed Black man,' I'm sad because there should be no such thing."
