An African-American gun-rights group announced last Thursday it has seen unprecedented growth in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd.
The National African American Gun Association (NAAGA) saw thousands of new members join in the hours after the video emerged of Floyd’s death at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer. That represents a new record in daily sign-ups for the group.
«2,000 people joined NAAGA in 36 hours after George Floyd,» NAAGA founder Philip Smith said in a statement. «That broke our records. We’re getting a ton of folks from all over.»
Membership has surged in 2020, a trend beginning with the coronavirus outbreak that drove Americans to gun stores in record numbers. Black Americans have flocked to the group and its 112 chapters after Floyd’s death.
