While the elite flock to Beverly Hill’s only gun shop looking for guns for self-defense, poor California minorities are finding it difficult to get through the state’s many gun control laws and acquire a firearm to use to keep themselves and their families safe.
On December 30, 2021, Breitbart News noted that the rich and famous were flocking to Beverly Hill Guns for protection from the craziness that has overtaken day-to-day life in Los Angeles.
FOX News now reports that other Californians, particularly minorities, are finding the acquisition of a firearm difficult.
Geneva Solomon, owner of Los Angeles County’s Redstone Firearms, told FOX News, “The gun control laws here are set up and intended to disproportionately affect those within the minority communities.”
Moreover, Solomon pointed to the “good cause” requirement for getting a concealed carry permit, suggesting the requirement may put minorities, and especially single parent minority homes, at a disadvantage when it comes to proving importance.

She said, “If the single parent is walking home and can’t prove that they’re ‘important’ by having money or high-value items taken from them, it may be really hard. Which goes back to the ‘[good] cause’ requirement of the insurance of the CCW. Having ‘[good] cause’ is too big of a gray area. That means it’s up for interpretation of the person interviewing you and can lead to underlying bias.”
Solomon ultimately summed up her view by stating that “California has gun control by ZIP code.”
California abolished the open carry of loaded firearms in 1967 and in 2018, KRON-TV’s Warren Olney wrote a San Francisco Chronicle op-ed claiming the move against open carry was in response to armed Black Panthers.

Pussies. You’ll shoot your eyes out.
It’s the poor minorities doing the crimes.
The poor should head over to the nearest school and pick up some of those free ranging child endangering guns Im always hearing about. There is probably a whole herd of them frolicking over there.
Pa-lease... anybody with $100 can get their hands on a handgun in L.A. There’s enough guns in L.A. to sink an aircraft carrier.
And crimes disproportionately affect minorities, too.
Crime isn’t proportional.
This is bull feathers. Anybody who can pass a background check can purchase a handgun, even in Kalifornistan.
The issues arise when they cannot pass the background check due to prior felony convictions, or cannot afford the high cost of the few handguns left on the California Roster. The left has demonized low cost handguns as 'Saturday Night Specials,' so if you can't pony up $700 for a Glock or Sig, you're outta luck.
Moreover, Solomon pointed to the “good cause” requirement for getting a concealed carry permit, suggesting the requirement may put minorities, and especially single parent minority homes, at a disadvantage when it comes to proving importance.
This is the real issue, and hopefully one that a favorable SCOTUS ruling in NYSRPA v. Bruen will finally fix.
Assuming it’s not a “black” assault, street-sweeping rifle and your not racist, your good to go to get government support.
You should get a vierling for each of your chilren, its not fair to expect them to carry two.
Most people in the LA area are defenseless anyway, as they’ll put you in a cage there if they find a gun on you. For the most part, in CA, especially counties like LA, one must be wealthy and or well connected to legally carry a gun.
“.,, Poor Minorities Left Defenseless..”
Oh really? Then what are they killing the hell out of each other with in the big democrat cities?
LMFAO! How much does one of those go for?
this is why we make Hi Points, so the retired guy in the singlewide can be armed too
“...California minorities are finding it difficult to get through the state’s many gun control laws...”
