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....

No science to this fiction, but the fear is a lot of the LEFTIST inspired mythology of the evil white KKK that President Trump managed to create several generations before his birth! Still, the fact is that with these new owners there might be some minority push-back against the gun grabbers!
Most people after San Bernadino, Orlando and Paris realize that you either shoot back or die.
Nice place to keep your hand gun. Yep keep it in your purse, the first thing they steal.
Oh honey...are you more likely to be assaulted by a white racist, or a black thug?
Sounds like total BS to me. Lefties are not going to go out and spend part of their welfare check buying one of those horrible, evil guns! The Government is supposed to protect them!
Instead of calling it Science Fiction, the new standard is to flag such deliberate misinformation as Fake News, by inserting (Fake News) at the beginning of the title.
Since the left wants to start trying to smear the credibility of conservatives by labeling their sites and stories as “Fake”, it is a great opportunity to turn the tables on them - they are the fakers.
I have no problem with every single law abiding Black citizen in America buying 2 or 3 good weapons.
Or more, should they choose to do so.
Our fight will be with the Foreign Invaders and their legal compadres. It’s one we should fight together.
Really? Please cite the evidence that leads to that conclusion. I've seen lots of blacks rioting in the street attacking other people. I see lots of Snowflakes whining that they lost the election and a few of them attacking others, but as hard as I look, I don't see Mr. Trump in any of them.
Can any of these geniuses name ONE thing that Trump said that would lead them to believe that he was against blacks??
I’m sure that the NBC reporter asked that——but I must have missed it.
.
holy crap...the article really has nothing to do with Pres. Trump.
It’s a hook to make you look.
False premise. What "hate crimes?" I am sure there are a few isolated instances. I'm even more certain the MSM will seek these incidents out and wildly publicize them in support of their narrative. But the reality is that by far - and I mean like one or two orders of magnitude far - the largest danger to members of various minority communities comes from other members of that or similar minority communities. The good-old boys in checkered flannel getting beered up on a Saturday night, jumping in their polluting diesel pickup with their assault rifles to go hunt down some "ethnic people" is a liberal myth.
Oh, sort of like the way negros felt it was open season on crackers after Obozo was elected and refused to prosecute black on white crime?
She seems to br confused by the difference between cultures at work here.
Oh Lord forbid, the evil influence radiated from those guns will have those Fearful Minorities killing one another right and left, and even Air Jordans won't make them able to outrun the bullets, despite rumors to the contrary.
This is awful, urban black neighborhoods will become shooting galleries, I can hear those guns laughing now!
I went to the relatively popular local gun show last weekend. I would tell you the trend I saw as far as black people there unfortunately I paid exactly zero attention to anybodies race. I don’t think that fits the progresive’s fantasy world for us delorables.
It’s about time that the black mommas gave up their neurotic fear of inanimate guns and transferred it to their really dangerous sons.
You don’t suppose their knowing that gun ownership by responsible citizens will be smiled upon by btheir new President and his administration, do you? Naaah! Makes too much sense.
That was one shit for brains article and intended to foment fears about non-existent events toward minorities.
Keep the hustle going.
The more law-abiding people with guns, the better.
