The Huey P. Newton Gun Club is a group[2] named after Black Panther Party co-founder and Minister of Defense Huey P. Newton.[3]
The group teaches self-defense and has staged armed protests in favor of African American gun rights[2] and against police brutality.[4] The club was founded by Rakem Balogun,[5] Yafeuh Balogun[6] and Babu Omowale.[7][8]
The group garnered national attention in August 2014 for its open carry patrols. Yafeuh Balogun expressed the hope that the club would continue to grow and eventually become a mainstream gun-rights organization.[9]
