It's Grand that we have new gun buyers interested in 2A rights!!! Obama was a great gun salesman, Hillary Clinton wasn't too shabby... but the Chinese have proven to be the greatest catalyst at getting our citizenry off the couch & into the guns stores... I'm not sure how much bunk we are going to have to swallow, when this is all 'said & done'... Or, perhaps a modicum of regulation will be our 'new normal'... What think You? I say "Hell NO" ~ which ties into my rubric, lol... It's perhaps fortuitous that our 2A rights have been highlighted here in the midst of the State & Fed. shenanigans (that is my opinion on the matter) - Go fill out a #4473 - Go out & get trained / practice, practice, practice... - Go out & actually be a CC holder ~ a (PASSIVE presence of deterrence) against wanton violence, in your daily life. Just the fact that you might actually be armed & can / could effectuate an outcome... That might mean something... https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/06/gun-sales-soar-80-may-amid-race-riots-government-lockdowns/
I've prepared for this day for a long time and have a Gun Safe FULL! of Firearms that I will use to unleash Hellfire upon any Thugs that show up to my property to start trouble. I've seen enough videos of what these rioting gangs of looting Thugs do to White people young and old when they isolate and attack them like a bunch of Animals. I don't go to their Shitholes looking for Trouble and they sure as Hell better not come to my Home, because they will find Trouble.
Of course gun sales are soaring. Decent middle class law abiding citizens are preparing to defend themselves and their property against the hoards of idiots. I think if the rioters try to take their B.S. into the suburbs a lot of them will probably wish they hadnt.
@TheAngryLiberal , I'm going to applaud you "selectively", here (2nd Amendment)... It's great that you are 'armed to the teeth' & a formidable front come 'Orange Man Bad' conservatives come traipsing across your LIBERAL doorstep... or whatever else... (kudos to you) That being said... Your views on race relations, "multiculturalism" (ME with brown skin, if we are going to go there), ethnic assertions... I'm just not on board with your assertions... (& I'm putting this delicately / nicely)
My elderly parents have never owned a gun, but Dad is considering it. He has my standing offer to arm and train him. He has seen me carry a gun for over 10 years without incident and he doesn't seem so scared of the idea anymore. The key to changing public opinion is to carry and not be a hothead. "I'd like to shoot XXXXX" shouldn't be in your vocabulary. I'll celebrate when somebody uses a gun to legally defend themselves, but I don't look forward to it being a daily event. I want concealed carry to be what it was intended - a deterrent.
I'm sure it's all right wing gun nuts stockpiling giant armories. It's certainly not anti-gun leftists that are suddenly terrified of the Frankenstein's monster they've unleashed upon their own cities and looking to guns to save their own hides from their own horrible creation. They would never by guns. If they bought guns, it would make them hypocrites. Leftists aren't hypocrites, are they?
Eventually, we all get old and weak. I had emergency surgery to remove my gallbladder during the protests last week. I couldn't defend my home without a gun right now. The gun is the great equalizer.
Lol...If you say so, dear. Meanwhile, back on planet earth, here's what your great orange hope had to say about riots- https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...omy-us-coronavirus-george-floyd-a9544491.html
Are U / Are we to somehow conflate Personal Responsibility, Constitutional rights & an inherent birthright of Natural Rights (Bill of Rights) into all of this...? (WTF)
My apologies if I've offended you, but sometimes my emotions get the better of me, because the issue of Racism has become such a hot point of discussion these days. When the word Racist is used, it's almost 100% of the time directed at White people, but I would argue that a Black person traveling through a predominately White neighborhood has a lesser chance of being attacked and murdered compared to a White person traveling through a Black neighborhood. If you look at the latest FBI statistics I could find from 2018, 514 White people were murdered by Black people compared to 234 Black people murdered by Whites and when you consider that Black people on make up 12% of the United States population compared to 76% for White people, that's proportionally a startling difference of Blacks murdering Whites at a much higher rate, but all the outrage only seems to happen when it's a Black person killed by a White person, even though Black on Black murder is at an almost epidemic rate of 96%. When you look at the number of people shot by Police over the last 3 years, White people are approximately double compared to Black people, which I agree disproportionately favors White people, but Police also know that Blacks at 12% of the population commit around 50% of all the murders in the United States are are statistically more likely to act out violently towards police, so I can understand Police being more on High Alert when approaching a Black suspect. The Black community needs to start taking much more blame for the issues that seem to be holding back Black people economically instead of automatically blaming White people for all their problems and when you see that 75% of Black children are raised by single mothers without a Father figure in their life, I can understand them not being raised with the best values in life. I don't know what the endgame of all this violence is, but until both sides, Black and White can come to the middle and some agreement of how to co-exist together without any kind any kind of Racism, I have my doubts this type of violence is going to end anytime soon. Here's a link to the latest data I could find, but when you see the amount of Whites killed by Black offenders, should myself and the rest of White America have the right to be outraged against the Back community for murdering us disproportionately as they claim the police do to them. https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u....ges/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-6.xls
The NRA have been waiting for this day for a long time, you can forget any chance of enhanced gun control laws for the next 5-10 years.
