During a discussion about increased gun ownership among black women in America on Tuesday, ABC’s “The View” guest co-host Sherri Shepherd revealed that she recently became a gun owner and that the decision has left her feeling “empowered.”
“I bought a 9MM gun,” Shepherd proudly announced on the show as some in the audience gasped and even chuckled.
“I don’t know why you’re laughing,” she shot back jokingly.
Shepherd, a single mother, went on to explain that she purchased the firearm to better protect her children after feeling “helpless” during last year’s riots.
“During the quarantine, I felt really helpless,” she told co-host Joy Behar. “I felt like Jeffrey would look at me like he was so scared. I get these little alerts in my neighborhood app about … a march through the neighborhood, and I started feeling like how am I going to protect my son if something happens?”
The actress said that she and a few friends purchased firearms from a black-owned gun shop in California. The group of friends proceeded to take the proper lessons and continue to practice proper handling of the weapon.
“I felt very empowered when I bought this gun. I took lessons. I took the test. I go to the range with my girlfriends like every other week, and it just makes me feel like at least if something happens, I can protect my child,” she said.

While Shepherd’s story likely resonated with countless Americans who own guns as a way to defend themselves and their families, her liberal fellow co-hosts felt much different and made sure to let her know.
Co-host Sunny Hostin acknowledged that many of her black female friends have also purchased guns during the COVID-19 pandemic, but she noted that she personally doesn’t think buying a gun is a good decision.”I know the statistics, and that when you do have a gun in your home, you are more likely to kill a loved one or a relative and the suicide rate goes up in your own home when you have a gun,” Hostin argued.She went on to add that many black Americans have likely armed up […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
