Recently, the National Rifle Association (NRA) came under fire from Black Twitter when it tried to come for Common after his performance during the 90th Academy Awards. Now, to the surprise of absolutely no one, one poll has shown that black Americans have the lowest view of the pro-gun organization, according to the Washington Post.

Quinnipiac poll showed that eight out of 10 black Americans responded negatively to the question, “Do you think that the NRA, or National Rifle Association, supports policies that are good for the U.S. or supports policies that are bad for the U. S.?”

More than half of Americans — 51 percent — chose "bad" for the policy grading. 

Of course, the NRA has been getting extra backlash following the Parkland school shooting, with support for stricter gun laws increasing 19 points in a little over 2 years according to Quinnipiac's assistant director Tim Malloy. 

To combat that, director of urban engagement for Turning Point USA Candace Owens, a black conservative, came to the NRA's defense on Twitter, calling the pro-gun lobby "the oldest civil rights organization." 

“It's very important that black Americans take a stand and defend the NRA in the way they have defended us,” said Owens during an appearance on FOX & Friends

Activist Brittany Packnett refuted the notion that the NRA has a history of helping black Americans in her video opinion piece for Mic, however: 

“Every time we talk about gun violence in this country, we hear the same racist dog whistles that try to blame America's fascination with guns on black and brown communities,” said Packnett in the video. “At the end of the day, the NRA has had plenty of opportunities to care about black and brown communities, but they don't really care about Chicago or Baltimore or people that look like me. They're using us as political pawns.”
