In an effort to curb gun violence, Toure founded Black Guns Matter, a campaign that educates young people about guns and gun safety. Not only are they taught to respect firearms, but also learn about the responsibilities that go with gun ownership.
“I was 15, walking around with a gun I had no idea how to use and no real respect for,” Toure said during an interview with NPR last year.

“In hindsight, I wish there would have been somebody to say, hey, this is a firearm, it’s not a game,” he said. “So when I’m seeing other people living out the same scenario, I want to be that adult teaching them properly.”
Why not give it a try? Things certainly can’t get much worse in places like Chicago and Baltimore.
