Anubis Heru co-founded Colorado's first Black gun club to teach members how to safely handle firearms, arguing that Black Americans, who are shot by police at disproportionate rates, need to be able to protect themselves. Gun ownership in the Black community has risen sharply in recent years, and the film weighs that shift against fears it could accelerate the same violence it's meant to guard against.
