Trump's Victory Has Fearful Minorities Buying Up Guns (Science Fiction)
NBC News ^ | November 23, 2016 | Ben Popken

After Donald Trump's win, Yolanda Scott is upgrading the crowbar she keeps in her purse to a small-caliber pistol.

Scott, an African-American, is one of many minorities who have been flocking to gun stores to protect themselves, afraid Trump's victory will incite more hate crimes.

"You feel that racists now feel like they can attack us just because the president is doing it," one gun shop owner told NBC News.

Gun store owners told NBC News that since November 8 they're seeing up to four times as many black and minority customers — and black gun groups are reporting double the normal number of attendees at their meetings since the election.

Racial tension was already at a high during the election, with a spate of videoed shootings and deaths of black men by police officers, followed by ardent protests and the fatal targeting of white police officers....

Or a very tiny crowbar.

Maybe it is actually a safety pin.

Well, I wish it were true. The more gun owners, the less likely we get stupid Bloomberg-funded laws.

Yet liberals hardly talk about the spike in membership of the “Pink Pistols”, a homosexual gun rights group after the Orlando night club shooting.

Then again, liberal secularism is undermining feminists and homosexuals’ rights by putting Islam higher on the victimhood hierarchy.

It is widely known that the largest demographic in the Chicago area for conceal-carry classes is older adult black males. They are tired of gang bangers.

You will be surprised how many people carry crowbars. It’s a short stubby one about a foot long or so.

Can we all reflect here on Obama and the liberal press. After 8 years the world is more divided than ever. Obama and the press have made sure that blacks know whites are their enemy. And whites know that liberals are crazy. That’s crazy and mean and misinformed. So why did we vote for Donald Trump???

The Commie media is feeding hysteria that white people are gunning for minorities.

I have no fears about minorities buying guns, the gun purchases I saw while Obama was president (and Hillary was poised to become president) were because of concerns that the liberal government would make it more difficult to become a gun owner and that a federal database is being constructed of LEGAL gun owners.

Nice try NBC, I’m not scared by this turn of events. Anyone in Chicago should seek to legally protect themselves from thugs there. Why isn’t that a national story?

Rush Limbaugh Newsletter Jan 2013 had points he was making on several topics- on gun control, this was his comments of how Democrats progress:

Fight begins: 1865,. Indeed, gun control is in the Democrat Party DNA, all the way back to its racist Civil War-era roots, when southern Democrats enacted “Black Codes” prohibiting emancipated slaves from owning guns or ammunition. Such blacks were only partly free; thanks to these Democrats, the core civil right of self defense was denied them.
