Black Man With A Gun
This site is proof that America
is still home of the brave and land of the free.Where else could a man of color audaciously exclaim his belief in the right to keep and bear arms?It shouldn’t matter what color you are but until we get to that point the title of the site raises eyebrows. Unfortunately:
Racist still have issues with it.
Fifty-percent of the victims of a violent crime won’t agree with me.
Elitist won’t care too much for my shtick.
Those educated by the mainstream media can’t understand me.
Politicians won’t tell you about the firearms in their homes but will try to take yours.
I am just one man but I represent millions of law-abiding gun owners in urban areas of the US.
Here you’ll find some interesting and controversial information about the age old argument of gun control from the point of view of a law enforcement trainer, author, and grassroots activist of color.The gun control argument is not new. It has racist roots. It’s not about stopping violence but controlling people. It’s a major point for politics, media ratings and the promulgation of fear.
I support the right to keep and bear arms for law-abiding citizens. I believe I have the right to protect my family from criminals, terrorist or whosoever seeks to deprive me of life, liberty or limb. I am not supporting vigilantism. Violence begets violence.But I know that blaming guns for the blatant disregard some have for life is not the answer.
If you are afraid of guns, that is your right.I use this site to educate, enlighten and entertain all about inequalities in the practices of gun prohibition and the racism, ignorance, and danger of not learning the truth for yourself.
I've been quoted or mentioned in the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Washington Times, and Washington Business Journal.I’ve was featured on the documentary by Larry Elder, “Michael & Me” (2004) and the BBC’s documentary “Charles Dickens in ; My American Journey” (2004).He’s been on Fox News 5, WJLA TV 7 and repeatedly shown on TV-One’s, “Sharp Talk with Rev. Al Sharpton” (2007) defending the right to keep and bear arms.
I wrote this book to provide people in the African American Diaspora a resource to learn about gun safety and personal responsibility from one of their own.What I didn’t realize was how offensive the subject of guns was to most of the people I was trying to help.Instead of embracing this maverick entrepreneur I became a pariah, angering the very people I was trying to help.The Black Man With A Gun persona became a global phenomenon and was crucial in protecting the rights of citizens in several states where I testified in front of legislators for the rights of self defense.I have been featured on radio talk shows across the country.
Here are the details about it if you are interested:
Black Man With A Gun, A Responsible Gun Ownership Manual For African Americans.

Kenneth V. F. Blanchard, printed by American Literary Press, Inc. originally $16.95.It is a 148-page book with pictures that educates the reader about firearms, gun control, and the right to keep and bear arms.
The book provides an easy to follow reference for newcomers to the gun issue from the view point of a former law enforcement officer trainer of color.He uses the prejudices and fears of many to make his point.African American bookstores wouldn’t sell his book because of bias(though you can easily find some about pimps, prostitutes and drug addicts) and you can get an autographed copy from this site for $10, or order it from Amazon.com.
