Abdul Yusuf and Jamal Abdulahi hadn’t seen the need before, but a few weeks after the November election the two men went to a gun store and started the paperwork for permits to carry.
They are among the Muslims and members of other minority groups who are joining the ranks of Minnesotans who applied to become gun owners in 2016.
For Abdulahi, it’s a natural response to an uptick in hate crimes since the election of Donald Trump.
“Donald Trump has directly pointed fingers at the Somali community,” Abdulahi said, referring to the president-elect’s statements before the election that Somalis are a “disaster” for Minnesota. “It’s something you don’t expect to hear from a presidential candidate. We’ve seen backlash. We are not going to stand [for] that.”

These people are idiots. Other than false backlash, there is none.
“Uptick in ‘hate crimes’’”?
#FakeNews
Terrorists now with legally bought guns. Not good news.
Minn orties —> Jihadis
“... applied to become gun owners.”
You gotta ask permission to exercise a right? Is it Blue state?
Solid blue.
Armed Mohammadans. Great.
Oh. NO!
“#FakeNews”
Yep.
I thought “good” from reading the headline. Then I read it was angry Muslims who felt they were victims of persecution...
uptake of faked hate crimes by liberals....
g-d uniparty media lies.
Just more winning for my S@W and Ruger portfolio.
Going from being a disaster for Minnesota to becoming a BIGGER disaster for Minnesota.
Muzzies want war, they’ll get war.
Please God, let them need the guns.
When there’s a backlash, they’ll know it.
In Minnesota, you need to apply for a “Permit To Purchase” to buy a handgun.
Takes 3-5 days to process.
For a shotgun or rifle (not an evil black gun) just pass the NICS check.
“For Abdulahi, it’s a natural response to an uptick in hate crimes since the election of Donald Trump.”
There really is NO “uptick” and what “uptick” there is is against Jews.
“an uptick in hate crimes since the election of Donald Trump”
Does he refer to all the “hate crimes” perpetrated by the left to try to frame conservatives?
