On Sunday's AM Joy, during a discussion of her interview with pro-gun liberal rapper Killer Mike, host Joy Reid suggested that the NRA had railed against President Barack Obama because he is black, and MSNBC contributor Toure Neblett accused the pro-gun group of not doing anything to defend minority gun owners.

The segment seemed oblivious to a recent video released by NRA TV's Colion Noir which recounted NRA's history of defending gun rights for blacks, including in recent years helping residents of Chicago and Delaware sue for their gun ownership rights.

Toward the end of the show, after her interview with Killer Mike from the previous segment, Reid went to Neblett for his reaction, and he wrongly seemed to suggest that the NRA was founded as a reaction to the Black Panther movement of the 1960s. Neblett: "If he (Killer Mike) wants to talk about increasing gun ownership, right, where is the NRA for black and brown people? It starts as a reaction to the Black Panthers, as you note."

After noting the cases of Philando Castile and John Crawford -- innocent black men who were tragically shot and killed by police because of a misunderstanding -- he continued: "Is the NRA there for black people? And we know that the NRA is consistently using black men as a boogeyman to motivate gun sales. Where are you on that, Mike?"

Reid soon complained about NRA reaction to President Obama:

Speaking of using black men to sell guns, you know, the NRA have been pretty explicit about the fact -- gun manufacturers have been explicit that having a black man in the white house really helped gun sales. They scaremongered around Barack Obama -- made a lot of money -- they actually stockpiled guns to sell thinking then there's going to be a woman who's going to come and bring the black helicopters. She lost, and now companies like Remington that make the AR-15 are financially down the tubes because they don't have a black man to use to scaremonger.

But the NRA's Noir recently recorded a commentary in which he responded to accusations by liberals that the NRA is racist, and recalled that the pro-gun group has a history of defending gun ownership by black Americans:
