Yolanda keep a crowbar in her purse? How big is her purse, and who has she been afraid of prior to Trump’s election (I can guess, and it’s not the KKK).

So, are they saying this is analogous to white folks buying guns in record numbers when Obungo got elected?

Either it was a mini crowbar, or a very large purse. 😀

Too funny. Subtracting felons, only a minority can buy guns. The majority already have them.

They should be telling us any day now that the market will soon be flooded with trillions of 22LR. Penny a piece.

This article is not about gun rights. It’s Liberal Media propaganda intending to convince people that minority groups fear Trump because of his racism.
