Black Bottom Gun Club We are excited to introduce the Black Bottom Gun Club the first chapter member of the National African American Gun Association in Michigan. Based out of and serving Detroit and the surrounding cities the Black Bottom Gun Club is named after the historic African American neighborhood that endured The Great Depression though World War II as residents established black owned businesses physician offices and social institutions. Black Bottom was the home of Della Reese Joe Louis and Sugar Ray Robinson. After World War II city and state officials declared that the infrastructure of the neighborhood was substandard and due to redlining policies no investment was put into Black Bottom.
