“All of this stuff that you see right now is just that, ‘Oh, we’re wealthy, we can just go buy [guns],’” [Maj] Toure added. “But yet and still, the areas that have the most crime have the most restrictive gun laws.”
Geneva Solomon, the co-owner of Black-owned Redstone Firearms in Los Angeles County’s Burbank, agreed with Toure’s comments. She said, “the gun control laws here are set up and intended to disproportionately affect those within the minority communities.”
She pointed to California’s complicated process of getting a concealed carry permit, saying single, Black parents in the state, for example, may have difficulty proving they have “good cause” for gun ownership.
