About Us

National African American Gun Association (NAAGA) was officially started and launched on February 28, 2015, in honor of Black History Month.

The founder and President of the National African American Gun Association is Philip Smith, a graduate of the University of California at Davis. He is an African-American Gun enthusiast and community organizer. He founded and started NAAGA with the primary goal to expose, educate, and motivate as many African American men and women to go out and purchase a firearm for self-defense and to take training on proper gun use.

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.
