During his five-year tenure as chairman, ACU has almost tripled in size, expanded CPAC to reach 25 million live viewers and 1 billion Twitter impressions at the most recent CPAC.

Toure is the founder of Black Guns Matter, a campaign aimed at that educating
young people about guns and gun safety while teaching respect for firearms in an
effort to curb gun violence.
“The stigma, especially in an urban environment like Philly, is if you have a gun,
you’re either law enforcement or the bad guy,” Toure said. “What we’re trying to
do is say that just because you have a gun doesn’t make you the bad guy. But
while you have your firearm, which you have the right to have, you have to be a
responsible, card-carrying good guy.”
Toure hopes his BGM campaign will educate others on what it takes to become a
legal gun-owner and the responsibilities that go along with it.
