Building on the success of the national movement started by NAAGA in 2015, the Downstate New York Diasporans Firearm Club was conceived after the civil unrest of Summer 2020 that led to worldwide protests, as a Chapter geared towards promoting the principles and mission of NAAGA for residents of Downstate New York (Nassau County and areas within the five boroughs of New York City, including Queens and Brooklyn). Our chapter welcomes members from outside the Downstate NY geographic area with current representation in neighboring States, Africa and the Caribbean. We represent various professions, law enforcement, military veterans, long-term firearm enthusiasts and beginners alike. We welcome individuals, couples and families who can meet the membership requirements regardless of your geographic boundaries, as we are here for Diasporans as a whole and in the fullest sense.
