ABOUT US
HISTORY
The National African American Gun Association, of Savannah, Ga. (NAAGASAV) was founded on May 26, 2020 by our current Chapter President, Anthony Maben Jr.
During these unfortunate times, with the height of racial tensions, Anthony felt an immediate and urgent need for self-preservation, and protection of the African American Community through armed protection, gun education and gun safety.
NAAGA MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the National African American Gun Association (NAAGA) is to establish a fellowship by educating on the rich legacy of gun ownership by African Americans, offering training that supports safe gun use for self defense and sportsmanship, and advocating for the inalienable right to self defense for African Americans.
Education. Training. Safety. Self Defense. Advocacy. For and By African Americans.
ABOUT US
The National African American Gun Association provides a network for all African American firearm owners, gun clubs and outdoor enthusiasts.
The goal of the National African American Gun Association is to have every African American introduced to firearm use for home protection, competitive shooting, and outdoor recreational activities. We are a pro 2nd amendment organization focused on the preservation of our community through armed protection and community building.
We welcome people of all religious, social, and racial perspectives.
We especially welcome active and retired African American members of law enforcement and the military.
POLITICAL ACTION
The National African American Gun Association (NAAGA) is a patriotic law abiding organization, but we recognize that there are national, local, and regional events that take place that need to be discussed and in some cases aggressively corrected through legal means as it relates to our community. Our organization was formed to advocate self defense with the use of firearms based on the 2nd Amendment, but a secondary and very important function of NAAGA is to be active on social issues. By collectively working together with a defined strategy, we can begin correcting social injustice.
To address these ongoing social and political issues, we are active in three (3) fundamental areas:
• Political Activism – We vote our conscience and let our lawmakers know our concerns;
• Selective Economics – We will only support those companies, cities, individuals, and people that support us; and
• Fundraising – We request donations from individuals for social causes and provide support to those issues.
