Want the latest and dumbest scam to come out of Gun-nut Nation to promote guns? It comes from a guy in Philadelphia, part hip-hop artist, part activist, part internet shyster and the founder of something called Black Guns Matter, which appears to be a website that sells – what else? – shirts, hoodies, hats, all the usual crap.
The founder of this internet clothing boutique, Maj Toure, says that he’s promoting a ‘Solutionary Lifestyle’ which allows his group to “educate people in urban communities in all 50 states on their 2nd amendment rights and responsibilities through firearms training and education.”
Along with his t-shirt shop, Toure has also tried to build a political career. The only problem is that even though he ran for an at-large seat in the Philadelphia City Council, running on the Libertarian line, he received one-half of one percent of the vote. Uhhh, he lost. He then got booted out of the Libertarian Party. So what?
Toure appeared at the 2019 CPAC meeting and told the audience that he supported grass-roots movements against racism but that he didn’t like BLM because all they were doing was raising money for Democratic candidates and Democrats are, to put it bluntly, no good.
Now Toure’s back at CPAC again at their 2021 CPAC meeting which was held in Texas this past weekend. This time around, he talked about how gun control equals racism and since he’s opposed to racism, he’s going to fight against gun control.
Spieling about how liberals are all racists if they support gun control has now landed Toure an occasional appearance on Fox News, where he challenges the Brothers and Sisters about guns, politics, and race. And better yet, he has raised over $400,000 on GoFundMe to support what he claims will be “a 50 state tour to continue informing urban communities–especially youth–about safe and legal firearms knowledge, conflict resolution, and the 2nd amendment.” Conflict resolution using a gun? That’s a good one.
I’m going to start an organization called Liberals Against Gun Control, or LAGC. I’m going to put up a website, get a 501c3 designation from the IRS, hire a PR firm to book me on all the alt-right media channels and start getting ready to be interviewed on Fox News.
There’s no question that I’ll get plenty of help from the liberal media which is always looking for a story about how guns attract people who shouldn’t be interested in guns. Last week the Washington Post ran a story about anti-gun Americans who are now buying guns which featured an interview with a couple of Black women who now own Glocks and AR-15’s. The story referenced a story about gun sales in The New York Times. The fact that the NYT story doubled the number of guns actually purchased last year, oh well, oh well.
The more I think about it, the more I’m going to start my own gun-owning group. And I’m not just going to call it Liberals Against Gun Control, I’m going to call it Jewish Liberals Against Gun Control. There have to be at least three other Jews in the United States besides me who are against the Biden Administration’s effort to take away all our guns. And don’t forget that what happened to all the Jews in Nazi Germany after Hitler took away their guns.
Could that happen here? Of course it could happen here! Look at the 2020 election – stolen right out from under our noses. This sh*t has to stop! Has to stop – right now!!
Gotta come up with a logo for my new group. After all, I need a logo for my t-shirts and coffee cups that I’ll carry in my online store. Maybe I’ll put an AR-15 inside a Star of David. That’ll work. How this?
Perfect. Just perfect. I’ll send it out right now to the t-shirt company. I’ll use the same outfit that Trump used to produce all his MAGA crap.
America’s a wonderful country. Start something from nothing which means nothing and will do nothing and you can still make yourself a million bucks.

Mike, you are spot on with this one. “America’s a wonderful country. Start something from nothing which means nothing and will do nothing and you can still make yourself a million bucks.”
America is a wonderful country and this is why so many of us served this country so that we can keep it that way.
P.S. When you said “He then got booted out of the Libertarian Party” this is not true. The Libertarian Party Chairman Nicholas Sarwark is saying that he hopes Toure will remain a Libertarian.

He didn’t get ‘thrown out’ of the Libertarian Party because we don’t have party memberships. But they withdrew their support of him during the campaign when he traded some crazy tweets with someone he didn’t like. He got less than 3% of the primary vote.

So I guess that “custom membership card” for $25 is not a membership.
Ok, sorry. My mistake.

It means you sent them a donation.

Ok, I’ll send that membership card back.

I have a membership card from the Republican National Committee and from the Democratic National Committee. They fit very nicely in my wallet and I suppose I could show them to a cop if I was stopped somewhere. Obviously I would show him the GOP card – ha ha. The term ‘membership’ in politics usually means that you are expected to show up at various party events, that you will always vote for the candidates on that party’s line, that you will subscribe to whatever publication the party publishes, etc. Party memberships come out of parliamentary systems where it’s the party, not the individual who you are voting for. We don’t do that. We don’t haver that kind of party discipline. I’m not saying it’s good or bad. I’m just saying that the word ‘membership’ has a very specific meaning in parliamentary systems. In our case, it’s a very fuzzy term.

Ok, I’m convinced, I’m sending it back.
