Honest question: How much of the sales to black Americans is for personal protection from everyone or is in anticipation of using them on police, military, and white Americans in the near future?

My guess is that blacks want protection, not weapons for war.

People don’t typically purchase firearms legally with the intent to commit a crime. You buy something off the street for that. When you look at where many of the riots and looting have been happening, it’s often in black neighborhoods. A lot of people (particularly first time buyers) start buying guns and ammo when they’re feeling unsafe in their environment.
The rest of us just never stopped buying and probably never will.

They’re for personal protection.

I hope Blacks are waking up on how lousy they’ve been treated by Democrats and how lawless they really are. Time to wake up people!

I was at a Cabela’s in Louisiana recently. Gun counter was packed. Half of them were black. And they were older folks, not ones likely to be the bad guys.

I’m thinking it is representative of the Black-Americans distancing from BLM, Marxism, lawlessness, looting, arson, rioting. These folks will vote Trump (and hopefully R down ballot).

sales to blacks jump 58%.....
Years ago I worked briefly for a firearms dealer. Some of our best customers were older black men who lived in parts of town where civilization had pretty much broken down.

You’ll never know with certainty. At this juncture we’re at now everybody obviously feels a potential threat as lawlessness continues.

People we don’t want armed can’t pass a background check. Nothing to worry about when looking at legal gun sales. In fact, it’s the revolutionaries that should take note and chill out.

From what I have seen personally the black customers have been largely purchasing their first handgun. 80% of whom have been women.

Certainly looks, feels and sounds that way for many people. Heard one guy say in NY City he felt like his neighborhood was in the Iraq war.
