African America and the NRA

Why Isn't the NRA Defending Ferguson’s Blacks? (Cliff Schecter) from the Daily Beast 
"Every dystopian warning of the gun group has come true in Missouri, yet the organization is offering no sympathy for the African American victims."
This question perfectly showcases one (of many) of the NRA's hidden assumptions: that white people need access to guns to protect themselves against (1) the government; and (2) black people.  One can only speculate what the organization's position would be if black young men embraced the same in-your-face "right to guns" nihilism that the NRA espouses for its members.
