Riots, Violence, Retreating Police: Gun Sales Expected to Set New Records… Again
AmmoLand ^ | 1 June, 2020 | Dean Weingarten

There is nothing quite like mob violence, the retreat of the police, riots and the burning of public buildings and private property, to fuel gun sales. An American cityabandoning a Police Station to the leftist mob and almost losing a second!

In just a few days, we will see the May figures for gun sales as told by the National Instant background Check System (NICS)

I have been watching to purchase a Kel Tec P17 pistol, to try it out; they are being snapped up as quickly as they hit the shelves. Many of Palmetto Arms AR15 clones are out of stock.

May of 2020 is going to be a very high sales month.  The immediate future looks bad; the future of gun and ammunition sales however is quite certain.

It is completely understandable that a resident of Minneapolis, Detroit, Atlanta, Dallas, Memphis, or Louisville, along with a host of additional cities, would find themselves wishing they had purchased a pistol, rifle, shotgun, and/or ammunition, before the current crop of leftists thugs decided to burn down their once-beautiful city.

Those wishing they had armed themselves likely see there is still a chance… if they act now, and act quickly.

If you are well armed and well prepared, do not blame those who saw the world in a different light until the recent riots convinced them otherwise.

Welcome them to your world. Offer them advice and training. Give them a wider perspective. If they are your neighbor, plant the seeds of a neighborhood looking out for each other and preventing violence.

Americans have spontaneously formed militias to maintain order and prevent looting, long before, and as long as, the United States has existed.

I have to correct you on the Philadelphia incident as I live here. The DA Krasner and the mayor said that the shooting of the gun store robber was self defense and a lawful shooting. They never described it as vigilante justice. The comment regarding vigilantes was referring to my neighborhood of Fishtown where a few neighbors protected the streets wielding baseball bats. Nothing happened but of course the press ran with it.

That isn’t anywhere near certain. Law enforcement in many parts of the country has been rounding up, arresting and imprisoning those defending their property.

...I was referencing an item that was on the net....
The inquirer or something like that..... sorry if I was
wrong in my statements, but the words “vigilante justice”
WERE uttered........

Police Commissioner Outlaw: “We do not condone or endorse any vigilante justice”
Alejandro Alvarez, Posted on: Tuesday, Jun 2, 2020
In a statement on June 2, Police Commissioner Outlaw denounced vigilante activity in Philadelphia as a response to riots and looting.

So if the big cities defund the police, I guess it will be up to citizens to guard their own homes....and I’m sure the looters will be calling for police protection then.

Some of them.

A lot of fence sitters who have been thinking about it for a while.

I can tolerate leftists who approve of, and respect, the Second Amendment.

When there is serious talk of disbanding the police, while cities burn... a citizen who buys an AR15, a handgun, or a pump shotgun is not going to be so willing to have them banned.

Police Commissioner Outlaw....

Freshly hired from Portlandia, the birthplace of American antifa, and the failure to address their criminality.

My democrat neighbors are on their own. Sorry about that.

If something unfortunate might happen to them,...just use their bodies as speed bumps at the entrance to your neighborhood. They will finally become useful.

Yes you are absolutely right, those words were used but thankfully not in regards to the gun store owner. Only to the good folks protecting my neighborhood. I am so relieved that he will not be facing charges of any kind.

I live in a deep blue area in California, totally under lefty control.

Pass by a gun store on my way to PetCo and saw a line around the building...

From what I’ve been seeing the exact opposite is true.

I bet they got the shock of their lives when they found all the hoops they will have to jump through, and still have to wait 10 days before pickup.
